The 'Crazy Bus' ride
Florida carnival-goers made a daring rescue of a toddler Saturday night after it had been dangling from a ride after an apparent malfunction, MyFOXOrlando.com reported.
The mother, Sherri Pinkerton, desperately clung to her daughter while suspended about 35 feet in the air on the “Crazy Bus” ride while horrified onlookers watched. When she lost her grip on the child, people standing below the ride were able to catch the toddler, MyFOXOrlando.com reported. Later, firefighters rescued the Pinkerton with a ladder.
Neither the mother nor her child was significantly injured in the incident.
"I watched it for ten minutes," Marc Chrisley, who thought the woman was going to lose her grip, told MyFOXOrlando.com. "She looked like she was fixing to give out any second."
Witnesses said the Pinkerton and the toddler were getting off the ride when it unexpectedly lifted back into the air, MyFOXOrlando.com reported.
