A video captured people dangling in the air for several minutes during an amusement ride malfunction at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo<\/a> in Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Attendee Akil Strawder told Storyful that he and his cousins were left suspended on the ride for about 10 minutes while his wife recorded the footage “in astonishment.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Netherlands-based KMG Rides,<\/a> which sells the Tango ride\u00a0shown in the video, describes it on its website as a\u00a0“23-meter-high ride that rotates around 3 different axes during the ride.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The open gondolas provide passengers with a unique \u2018flying\u2019 experience,” it adds. “There are 3 gondolas, each accommodating 8 people, which rotate freely during the ride.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and KMG Rides for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo began in 1932 as the Houston Fat Stock Show and Livestock Exposition, created by local\u00a0business people\u00a0to promote the region\u2019s cattle industry.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first event featured livestock exhibitions and a small rodeo. After a pause during World War II, the show expanded, adding entertainment and educational programs to broaden its appeal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The show is scheduled to return in 2027; it typically occurs over\u00a020 days\u00a0between late February and mid-March at NRG Stadium, featuring concerts, livestock\u00a0shows\u00a0and carnival activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo says on its website that its mission is to promote “agriculture by hosting an annual, family-friendly experience that educates and entertains the public, supports Texas youth,<\/a>\u00a0showcases\u00a0Western\u00a0heritage\u00a0and provides year-round educational support within the community.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Since the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo began, more than $660 million has been committed to the youth of Texas and education. Each year, more than 800 scholarships are awarded to Texas students by the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo,” it added. “As one of the largest scholarship providers in the U.S., the Rodeo has presented more than 22,000 scholarships valued at $660 million since 1932.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
