A father was electrocuted when he lifted his daughter into a carousel ride.<br /> <br />Suriya Khuiyoksui, 30, was with his family when the accident happened at the local carnival in Krabi, southern Thailand, on September 3.<br /> <br />His four-year-old daughter was about to ride the mini car swings when her father stopped the ride, which was still rotating, by grabbing the overhead pole.<br /> <br />However, the caring father was electrocuted when he touched the metal. He fell backwards as staff rushed to unplug the ride and cut out the electricity.<br /> <br />Luckily, no other children touched the pole at the time the electrical circuit had failed. <br /> <br />Suriya's frantic wife called the emergency serviced, who took him to a nearby hospital to treat his burns.<br /> <br />The father has been recovering at the local hospital where medics have performed checks on his internal organs.<br /> <br />Speaking at the hospital, Suriya said that the staff should check all the rides before letting children on.<br /> <br />He said: "I only remember passing out and waking up at the hospital. I only knew that I was had an electric shock.<br /> <br />"All kinds of electric carnival rides are dangerous to everyone. The staff should have been more careful about checking the system before letting people in."<br /> <br />The carousel's owner said that they will be dismantling the faulty ride and paying for all the damages and medical fees.<br /> <br />Police Lieutenant Colonel Somphon Deedaung investigated the scene and will further interview the witnesses before a case is made against the owners.
