A day of fun at an amusement park turned into a nightmare after a tourist was thrown from a roller coaster in a freak accident caught on terrifying video.

The horrifying incident happened Monday at Parque Samanes in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where the woman was reportedly flung about 13 feet from the ride as it moved along the track, according to ViralPress.

Video from the scene shows the small roller coaster zipping through the amusement park moments before the woman is suddenly thrown from the ride. Other passengers can be heard screaming in terror as the shocking accident unfolds in front of stunned parkgoers.

Witnesses rushed toward the injured woman after she landed on the ground. She was then taken to a hospital for urgent treatment after suffering serious injuries, according to the report.

Local media reported that the woman was not wearing a seatbelt while riding the mini-roller coaster, raising immediate questions about safety procedures at the park.

Authorities shut down the amusement park for one day while officials began investigating what went wrong. Investigators are looking into whether a mechanical failure, a safety breach, or another issue may have contributed to the terrifying accident.

A preliminary report also suggested that some employees believed the woman may have fainted during the ride, causing her to lose her balance before being thrown from the roller coaster.

Her condition remained unknown as of Wednesday.

The disturbing incident has renewed concerns about amusement park safety and whether smaller attractions are being held to the same strict standards as major thrill rides. For families and tourists who visit parks expecting a harmless afternoon of fun, the video is a chilling reminder of how quickly a routine ride can turn dangerous.

The investigation remains ongoing.
