A visit to a local fair took a dangerous turn when a man attempted to jump onto a moving boat‑style ride and was struck by a metal pole within seconds. The moment, posted on Instagram by @khanali_2728, highlights the risks associated with approaching high-speed amusement rides powered by heavy steel arms and fast-moving motors.

The filmer explained that he was already on the ride recording footage when he saw the man try to board while it was still in motion. The impact prompted him to immediately alert the operator to stop the ride and assist in bringing the man down safely. He then checked on him, noting a head injury, and offered water while helping him stay calm until further assistance arrived.
