On Saturday evening in Faridabad, India, a significant tragedy unfolded at an amusement park when a swing ride known as 'top spin' suddenly malfunctioned. The incident occurred around 6 PM local time, where one side of the swing, which was carrying 26 individuals including women, detached mid-rotation and crashed to the ground.
