Authorities in Tabuk have opened an investigation into a mechanical failure at a local amusement park after a swing ride collapsed while in operation. The incident, which was captured on video and circulated widely on social media, shows the ride falling from a low height, sparking immediate panic among families and onlookers at the scene.

Despite the initial alarm, local reports confirm that the collapse resulted in only minor injuries. Two young girls sustained light injuries and were transported privately by their families for medical evaluation; notably, their condition did not require emergency ambulance intervention at the site.

In the wake of the accident, safety officials have shuttered the attraction to conduct a comprehensive assessment. The investigation aims to determine the exact cause of the structural failure and verify whether the park was in full compliance with mandatory safety standards and routine maintenance protocols. Further details regarding potential penalties or findings are expected to be released once the official inquiry concludes.
