Firefighters in Russia last week had to rescue dozens of riders from an amusement park attraction when they got stuck dangling 50 feet above the ground. 

"Swing rides at the amusement park… stopped due to technical reasons," officials said after the rescue, according to Newsflare. 

The swing ride at the park in Nalchik City malfunctioned on June 16, prompting the Emergency Situations Ministry (EMERCOM) to deploy a rescue operation. Video of the rescue showed a fire rescue worker climbing up a ladder to bring down the 13 people stranded on the ride.

EMERCOM said rescue personnel managed to bring everyone down safely with no injuries. The service will investigate the cause of the malfunction. 

Russia has seen trouble with swing rides before, with one such ride collapsing last year and injuring 20 people after the carousel roof, which anchors the seats, collapsed, The New York Post reported.
