Horrifying moment slingshot ride at Winter Wonderland SNAPS and smashes into support beam leaving two people trapped | The Sun
THIS is the terrifying moment a slingshot ride at Winter Wonderland SNAPS and smashes into a support beam trapping two people.
Chilling footage on social media shows elastic-propelled cords launch a pod up in the air.
But as the thrill-seekers are slung up, one cord snaps.
The pod – containing two men – is then flung menacingly into one of the support beams.
Screams are then heard at the popular London Christmas attraction as panic explodes.
After crashing into the beam on the left of the ride the pod dangles on its side with the terrified blokes clinging on inside.
