A teenage boy has fallen ten metres to the ground as he was performing pull-ups on a theme park chairlift.

The 14-year-old was caught on camera doing the dangerous stunt and witnesses said he was “mucking around”.

Emergency services were called to the theme park near Kiama on the NSW south coast just after 1.30pm today.

“He pulled the safety bar up and stood up grabbing the cable,” one person, whose brother was on a chair behind the teen, told 9news.com.au.

“Dangling off the cable, he started to do pull-ups without realising an upcoming pillar.

“My brother caught him hanging off the cable … before he hit the tower rollers and fell.”

The boy suffered a broken knee and is in a stable condition at Wollongong Hospital.

Just put a Cage around the chair... #simples

What's wrong with duck tape?  Duck tape solves most of my problems.

In this particular case, a condom should have been used about 15 years ago

They only work 99% of the time @red dragin

Perhaps this was nature's attempt to make up for that 1% 

Darwinism once again proving that idiots really have no place on this Earth.

Next thing you know this idiot is going to be trying to sue Jamberoo claiming there was no warning this was dangerous and the safety bar was broken.

typical idiots of Wollongong

I don't even think it was a local, probably a school group on an end of year excursion. The dude was still a complete idiot though, hope it doesn't affect the park too negatively.

trust me it's a local i used to live there and the kids were dumb there when i was a teenager doesn't look like they have improved over time

 

best thing we ever did was move away from that place.

This kid is probably some immature 14 year old who does stupid risky things. Needless to say, I'm not surprised that this has happened - and I'm not impressed either. Wonder why he thought doing pull-ups on a theme park chairlift was a smart idea?
