What! So people hanging from a single strap by their hair had an accident? Seems like a planned event to me. The accident would be if they didn't fall.

That would have been cool if after the collapse, a gorilla yanks the material and all of the girls have disappeared.

Or if they were flattened and ran around like Mario Goombas.
