Last month emergency services rescued 28 people from a terrifying situation when they were left hanging upside down 100ft in the air on an amusement park ride.
In Oregon, authorities came to the aid of amusement park visitors who found themselves in a horrifying predicament as they dangled from the AtmosFEAR ride. One man, who was celebrating his birthday at the park, was waiting in line for the ride when it malfunctioned.
He reported hearing people exclaiming "Oh my God, they are upside down," as it became apparent that the ride was stuck. Chris Ryan and his wife, residents of nearby Gresham, chose to leave due to the alarming nature of the situation. They decided to enjoy the ferris wheel instead, just before an announcement over the loudspeaker confirmed the park's closure. All visitors were instructed to immediately evacuate the park.

Portland Fire and Rescue announced on X that firefighters were collaborating with Oaks Park engineers to manually lower the ride. However, if necessary, crews were ready to use high-angle ropes to safely bring down the stranded riders.
All passengers were evacuated and medically assessed. There were no reported injuries, but one individual with a pre-existing medical condition was immediately transported to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
Firefighters later shared a photo of the ride successfully returned to ground level.
