A Carnival ride in California malfunctioned during a high school event, causing carriages to suddenly drop to the ground.

“The Zipper,” an amusement ride that lifts passengers in a carriage, encountered mechanical issues midway through a ride on Friday at an event organized by Bishop Conaty Our Lady of the Loretto High School in Los Angeles, California, as reported by FOX 11.

Video of the incident shows the ride suddenly stopping before two carriages crashed into one another, with one of them falling to the ground.

Alexia Murillo, who saw the incident, said a cable snapped off of the ride.

“You never think that kind of thing will happen to you. You see it online. It was truly shocking to witness it firsthand,” Ramirez said. “I was perplexed when they restarted the ride. One had already detached, and unfortunately, the second one disconnected from the top.”

The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health’s (Cal/OSHA) Amusement Ride and Tramway Unit has launched an investigation into the incident, according to ABC7.

In a statement, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles said they are thankful no one was seriously hurt.

“We are thankful that no injuries occurred over the weekend when a carnival ride, managed by an independent operator, malfunctioned at a Bishop Conaty High School event. We sincerely appreciate the first responders who were quick to assist. The event continued as planned. Ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone in our parishes, schools, and ministries remains our highest priority,” the statement said.
