Last September 24, a video went viral that showed a 5-year-old boy dangling by the neck on a Ferris wheel in Taizhou Yuhuan Amusement Part, Zhejiang province. When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, the boy had opened the carriage window, pushed his legs and upper body through it.

However, the boy's head got stuck between the bars and he was hanging at the height of 130-feet above the ground. Thereafter, the wheel operators slowly brought his carriage down and rescued him.
