An amusement park in eastern China’s Zhejiang province is investigating safety issues after images of a boy dangling from a Ferris wheel circulated online, local media reported Monday.

Video posted on social media shows a five-year-old boy hanging in the air from one of the carriages at the Yuhuan Amusement Park in Taizhou. The boy’s mother blamed the park employees for letting her son board the ride alone without her knowledge or consent.

Theme parks are popular attraction in China, but they have also been subject to scrutiny following some high-profile accidents. Last year, a teenager died after being thrown off a ride at a theme park near Chongqing. (Image: Weibo)
