The incident took place on December 4 in the village where the girl lives in Rekehti in Pradesh State, India.

The girl was forced to support her full body weight or plunge to her death as ride operators figured out how to rescue her.

The exact pod from which she fell is uncertain, but she was holding onto a metal part that was close to the top of the ride. This means that her pod was almost at its highest point when she fell.

But, before rescuers could get her down, the teenager had to go even higher as the wheel only travelled in one direction.

As other riders watched on from their pods, the girl followed instructions that were being shouted up to her.

She slowly readjusted her position on the wheel turning to face its centre and holding the bar above her with both hands.

Meanwhile, both of her feet rested on the wires below.

As a man started climbing the wheel, it began to move and the girl stayed stretched out as she went higher and higher into the air with no support.

But the truly terrifying moment happened after she reached the top.

In order to escape, the girl had to move down as the wheel turned, putting all her weight on her upper body as she was flipped over.

Her legs started to slip from their resting place as the weight got too much for her upper body.

At this point, the wheel started turning faster in a desperate effort to just get her down.

The wheel’s faster rotation made it more difficult for the girl to hold on, and as she approached the bottom, her legs started to flail.

Luckily, onlookers were ready to grab her as soon as she was within reach and she was carried to safety.

The girl reportedly fell from her pod after a sudden jolt during the Ferris wheel ride.

Officials later confirmed that the girl was unharmed but the operators of the wheel did not have the correct permits for the ride.

There is now an investigation into how the ride was able to operate at the fair.

It comes just weeks after a man jumped out of a moving roller coaster in a move that may have saved his life.

A video from the Castles N’ Coasters amusement park in Phoenix, Arizona showed the man leaping from his seat after the safety harness came undone seconds before riders went down a huge drop.

“It was just adrenaline, and I didn’t want to die that day,” he told CBS affiliate KPHO-TV.

Over the summer The Sun reported on the horror moment 28 thrill-seekers were left dangling upside-down 100 feet in the air after a ride broke down at the Oaks Amusement Park in Portland.
