Terrifying Video Shows Slingshot Ride Snap Mid-Air at Spain Fair, Injuring 4

On Friday evening, a cable snapped on the Steel Max ride at the Seville Feria, causing the capsule to slam into a support structure and leaving two children dangling 90 metres in the air.
Located in the Calle del Infierno section, the Steel Max attraction propels riders at around 100mph using elastic cables as part of the week-long Seville Feria, which features over 1000 tents.
According to The Seville Emergency Service Department, four people sustained injuries during the incident. Two children on the ride were transported to a medical center, while two others were injured by falling debris.
Civil Protection workers secured the scene after the rescue, and National Police launched an investigation into the malfunction. Authorities are inspecting ride documentation to determine what caused the cable to snap mid-air.
The Seville Feria, dating back to the 19th century, draws huge crowds annually with its mix of traditional celebrations and large-scale amusement attractions. Despite the malfunction, the event remains a staple of Spanish culture.
