Seems incredibly lucky it fell straight down like that and not on its side where someone would take a full impact.

why do they have to add "including several girls"?

Aren't many things segregated by sex in the arab countries. Maybe included that to show it wasn't all males on the ride.

I suspect the "Petting Zoo" in the Middle East is far different than one at an American fair.

Those Saudi carnies are to blame. A few left over nuts and screws after assembly? Eh, they’re not important.

Take one look at the folks who set that shite up and you'll never step on a ride again.

One person got thrown way off the fenced area. That will leave a mark??

I thought that was a person too. But with the reports of no one dead, I can’t imagine how that person would have survived. Maybe it was a piece of the ride. Maybe not though.
