An Ohio amusement park ride that swings riders as high as 125 feet has been shut down indefinitely after a cable snapped, injuring two riders.

Cedar Point spokesman Bryan Edwards said a cable on one of the Skyhawk ride’s carriages disconnected late Saturday. One female rider was treated at a hospital and released. A male rider was treated at the scene, the amusement park said.

A man who said he was near the Skyhawk when the accident occurred around 10 p.m. reported hearing “something whip, then bang and screaming.”

The ride slowed down to stop with riders screaming.

The disconnected cable damaged the fence in front of the ride where spectators often stand and watch. The cable was hanging over the ride when the ride stopped on the left carriage.

Skyhawk has two giant arms that swing rides at speeds of up to 60 mph. Cedar Point said the ride was closed temporarily in 2013 for unrelated reasons.

The ride will remain closed until an investigation into the cause of the accident is completed.
