In a terrifying incident at a theme park, a mom claims the door on a Ferris wheel carriage swung open while she was riding along with her two-year-old son.
Chloé Hennessey, 29, from London, described the heart-stopping moment when her son Wolf identified the malfunction while they were high above the bottom.
“Shaking and crying”
Capturing the ordeal on TikTok, Chloé shared the clip where little Wolf will be seen mentioning the problem while they were mid-ride.
“My heart literally dropped and I immediately felt sick to my stomach, and full of anxiety and fear,” Chloé recounted. “I attempted to stay as calm as I could for Wolf, otherwise it could’ve been lots worse.”
Within the footage, Chloé will be seen gasping and pulling her son away from the open door. She claims she had to carry the door shut for the whole 15-minute duration of the ride, which reaches heights of as much as 36 feet (10 metres).
Once their Ferris wheel carriage finally returned to the bottom, Chloé says she urgently flagged down a staff member and showed them the faulty door.
The staff quickly let her and Wolf, visibly shaken from the experience, off the ride.
Chloé explained, “They might see I used to be shaking and had been crying. Staff advised me to report it to the client service desk, which I did.”
Nonetheless, she alleges that when she reported the incident, she was told that the park “can’t do anything about it” immediately and was asked to email a proper criticism to start out an investigation.
“Terrifying”
Chloé’s video has since gained over half 1,000,000 views. She described the ordeal as “one in all the scariest days of my life,” adding that she has “nightmares like this.”
One viewer commented, “You poor things!!! That’s shocking. I’m so glad you’re each okay.”
One other added, “I felt that gasp. Truthfully, I’ve only ever been on one, and it terrified me.”
And a fellow parent echoed this sentiment, “Omg, what an excellent little boy, thank God!” while one other viewer said, “I feel sick just watching this. I hope you’re okay that must’ve been terrifying.”
