Teenager Dangling From Theme Park Ride Gets An Incredible Rescue

A day at the amusement park is supposed to be full of excitement and laughter, but not for one dad and his daughter. The pair ended their fun family day out by saving a 14-year-old girl from a 25-foot drop.

A Fun Day Out

It was just a normal day out for 47-year-old, Matthew Howard and his family as they enjoyed a day in the sun at the Six Flags Great Escape Amusement Park in New York. But their day took a frightening turn as the family were making their way out of the theme park.

They Heard a Scream

As Howard and his family were heading towards the exit of the amusement park, they heard a scream from above. Suddenly, crowds began to form as they couldn’t quite believe what was before them.

They Couldn’t Believe What They Saw When They Looked Up

Howard and his family looked up to see a young old girl dangling from a gondola ride as her younger brother sat next to her screaming for help.

Howard couldn’t believe his eyes, but knew what he had to do next…

Howard Hurried to Help the Girl

Howard rushed to the 14-year-old girl who was hanging from the gondola cabin and stood directly beneath her. At this point, the ride was still moving but the crowds gathering around the horrific scene soon alarmed the park’s employees to stop the ride.
