A fully-packed amusement park ride at the 95th Annual National Cherry Festival in Traverse City, Michigan,┬аnearly tipped over┬аon Thursday (July 8) night.
As the Magic Carpet ride was in motion, the base began to shake, causing the ride operator to jump away. As the ride continued to spin, the base continued to tip back and forth as bystanders rushed over to try to stabilize it.
About a┬аdozen people grabbed the fence┬аand held on as the ride slowly came to a stop. Once the ride stopped, the passengers remained trapped for several minutes because their harnesses remained locked.
