Part of the thrill of getting on a ride at an amusement park is the voice in the back of your mind that wonders what would happen if the ride derailed or broke.

That is, of course, tempered by our trust in health and safety regulations, and checks designed to keep amusement parks in top working condition.

Unfortunately for riders on a popular pendulum-style ride at an amusement park in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad, their worst fears were realised when following an upswing, the ride snapped in two, reports TIME.

The city mayor’s office said two people died, and 29 others were injured in the accident at Kankaria Amusement Park.

The “Discovery” ride has 32 seats. A video shows the pendulum shaft swinging the seats upward, before it snapped and fell to the ground.

“The pipe of the main shaft broke and crashed on the ground,” Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation Chief Fire Officer M. F. Dastoor told the Ahmedabad Mirror, according to CBS News. “How that pipe broke is a matter of investigation by Forensic Science Laboratory.”

An amusement park attendee managed to capture the moment that the ride snapped on camera. Everything falls apart at around 30 seconds.

Horrifying.
