On the Numaish amusement ride in Hyderabad, passengers were upside-down for twenty-five minutes.

Some customers' joyride at Hyderabad's Numaish Exhibition turned into a nightmare when a malfunction kept them upside down for over 30 minutes.

A malfunction left several passengers upside down for nearly 30 minutes, turning a joyride in Hyderabad's Numaish exhibition into a nightmare. According to The Siasat Daily, on January 16, the trip abruptly stopped because of battery problems, leaving a few people upside-down.

An exhibition organization official told Siasat Daily: "Due to battery problems, the amusement ride became upside down during a trial run. The ride's functionality was promptly restored when on-site technicians replaced the battery.

On social media, footage of the ride that became upside down has received thousands of views.

The issue has sparked questions regarding amusement ride safety and whether or not they are routinely inspected. Many others referred to the situation as their "worst nightmare" on social media.

Safety issues due to malfunction
Every season or year, does any authority perform inspections and grant clearances? For the sake of public safety, do we have a department in charge of this? questioned Nagaraju, an X user.

Another recommended that in order to ensure that the job is done correctly, "authorities, owners, and others involved in approving the working condition of this ride and have validated its conditions should also be given a ride randomly."

"In India, I steer clear of such rides. "The safety standards are extremely low," a person commented.

Extremely risky. Serious medical issues could result from inverting someone for twenty-five minutes. What are the authorities doing? "I'm positive they didn't do any checks," X user Vijay remarked.

The ride abruptly stopped due to a battery problem, according to Surender Reddy, secretary of the Numaish Exhibition Society, who spoke to the Deccan Herald. He did, however, deny reports that passengers had been upside down for twenty-five minutes. According to Reddy, the problem was fixed in less than five minutes, and the ride went on without any more problems.
