Tourists in China have narrowly escaped injury after a glass slide it broke, causing a series of collisions between inflatable rafts and leaving visitors teetering on the edge of a precipice.
The video was filmed in Huize County in Yunnan Province on July 23.
TO glass slide segment it had completely detached, leaving a gap in the slide more than 10 meters above the ground.
A steady torrent of water gushed down the slide, where an inflatable boat, carrying a handful of petrified tourists, dangled precariously. Two more rafts behind, each with passengers, rushed down the slide and collided one after another.
A woman is heard repeatedly yelling, "Get down quick!"
The passengers subsequently managed to abandon their rafts, cautiously making their way down the fractured slide.
