ATHOL — Riders on Silverwood's "Spin Cycle" ride remained suspended upside down for more than 15 seconds as a result of what the park called "a rare occurrence."

In an interview with KREM 2 News, a spokesperson for the park explained that "when the weight of the riders is perfectly balanced on both sides, the ride can hold itself straight up in place for a couple of seconds."

A TikTok posted earlier in the week, which has been viewed over 500,000 times, showed the ride stuck in one position while the riders were upside down.

No injuries were reported.
