Florida slingshot ride cable snaps just moments before riders

Two men who were excited about a Florida fun park were in for a scary surprise when – just as they were about to be launched – the ride's cables shredded.

Video of the incident, taken at Cobra Adventure Park in Panama City Beach on Saturday night, shows the two parkgoers strapped into a harness on the ride as it gets ready to fly, presumably some hundreds of feet into the air.

"Three … two … y'all gonna be screaming like sissies, watch," people shout just before the ride's right-side cables seemingly shred, and before the slingshot was to be flying. An employee is later to remove men from the wrinkle.

Krissy Hurst, who posted the video to Facebook, told WTVT she was ridden the thrill ride many times, but she did not like it. She took the video because the ride was not operating.

She said, "It's a pretty good thing."

Hurst added the men who were strapped in the snapped ride "are completely freaked out still."

Cobra Fun Park did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.
