Before the accident, video from the scene appears to show the boys, aged 14 and 15, seated in a cylindrical cage-style carriage dangling from two bungee-style cords.
Boys had been released by on-site personnel
When the ride begins, the carriage appears to malfunction, sending it careening into a post and revolving in the air amid screams from the crowds below. According to a Met Police spokesperson,”It was reported that two teenage boys had been in a fairground ride when one of the bungee cords attached to the cage had snapped. The cage was left suspended in the air.” By the time officers and firefighters arrived, the cage had been lowered and the boys had been released by on-site personnel.
