FRANCE — A thrilling carnival ride turned into a horrific near-death experience, after a faulty harness almost cost a young woman her head. <br /> <br />France Bleu reports that the incident took place on Sunday, at the Throne Fair in Paris. The girl had been one of two people on the Adrenaline — a giant swing that sends riders flying from 164 feet up. <br /> <br />As the ride hurtled towards the ground, the girl’s harness snapped, leaving her dangling upside down, suspended only by her ankles. <br /> <br />After she narrowly missed slamming her head into a low platform, and swung back and forth at least seven times the ride finally stopped and she was helped down. <br /> <br />While the girl wasn’t seriously hurt, the fair has said it will dismantle the ride as soon as possible. Better safe than sorry!
