LOS ANGELES - Video shows the scary moments a carnival ride malfunctioned, sending one of its carriages to the floor.

The ride known as The Zipper malfunctioned mid-ride on Friday, Sept. 26, during an event at Bishop Conaty Our Lady of the Loretto High School in the Pico-Union area.

The ride jolted unexpectedly, then it appeared that a cable snapped from one of the carriages, causing it to crash into another carriage. That carriage then landed on the group as onlookers gasped in shock and confusion.

It's unclear why the ride malfunctioned. Firefighters responded to the scene. Luckily, no major injuries were reported.
