[The horrified riders are then heard screaming in fear,
with three critically injured people rushed to hospital.

Eyewitnesses said the ride's pole 'recoiled at high speed'
before it crashed down.

They also reported the pole striking people
standing on the opposite side.

The wounded were given first aid at the
theme park before going to hospital,
as several in Taif declared a
Code Yellow emergency.

Operations in the theme park are thought to have
been temporarily suspended.

Saudi Arabian law enforcement have since launched
a probe into the crash.]
