sounds became a scream and then became a lot of screams. literally and figuratively, one scream rose above the rest. i saw this sea of people pointing up and all kinds of concern on their faces. and when i followed their pointing, i noticed at the top of the ferris wheel what was going on. and there was a man who looked like he was about to fall out of the ferris wheel, out of the seat. >> the man is 31-year-old caleb hill who has special needs. he is literally dangling from atop the ferris wheel. >> apparently the ride had been going and it stopped because they were at the point where they were letting people off so they could let more people on. >> at only 5 feet tall, hill is able to work his way beneath the safety bar and out of the car. >> we don't know why he left the car. some people said caleb was scared. his relatives said that he just didn't like sitting still. he was outside of the car
