Two people were flung to their deaths from a towering amusement park ride called 'Scream' when staff did not give tourists enough time to buckle their safety belts before switching it on.
The victims fell more than 20 metres from the ride in the Longshan Amusement Park in Pingyang, Wenzhou City in Zhejiang.
Eyewitnesses told Peoples Daily Online that the victims fell from the ride called 'Scream' shortly after it began to move.

Two other people were seriously injured following the accident which happened at lunchtime today local time.
It is feared that staff may have started the new ride - which was opened to the public for the first time today - before the tourists had a chance to properly fix their safety belts.
Oh god, obviously it's saddest for the two who died and their loved ones, but can you even imagine how that staff member must have felt when he or she realized what had happened? Their life just changed forever because of a careless mistake.
