A woman fell into a ravine while swinging on a newly-opened tourist attraction.

The clip shows the woman moving backward and forwards over the edge of a cliff on a decorative swing.

After receiving a heavy shove from a man behind her, she is seen falling over the edge to the ground below.

The incident took place on the ‘Swing of Wishes’, which opened at the Fuerte Viejo viewpoint in Lota, Chile.

Pilar Álvarez Fuentes tumbled from the new attraction just two days later.

She fell about 16ft (5m).

However, her niece Estefanía Álvarez said “Nothing serious happened and it can be taken with a laugh.”

She added: “It was our fault for mucking around that way.”

Pilar suffered a fractured thumb on her right hand, a sprained ankle, and bruises all over her body.

She said: “We went there to enjoy some time with the children who really wanted to visit it.

“But things went too far.

“It was clearly down to us, not the swing or the security staff who were called.

“The swing is for taking photos, but we pushed the limits.”

She warned other visitors: “Don’t do what we did.”

Pilar hopes the authorities do not remove the swing over her fall.

She said: “I hope they don’t get rid of it, it doesn’t harm the community here in Lora because it brings lots of tourists.”

Local councillor Paulina Veloso Muñoz stated that they will erect information signs at the attraction to inform visitors of the risks.

She said: “The swing is a tourist attraction and not something to play with because it is not an extreme swing.

“We are going to put up information signs today and tomorrow to make sure it is used correctly.”
