Meanwhile, officials closed the cable car service and reopened it after carrying out extensive checks.

The yellow cable car had the Chinese text ‘Welcome to Yandang Mountain Cableway’ printed on the window.

A man was seen seated next to the open door while apparently making a phone call to report that the woman had fallen out.

Officials said the accident was caused by strong gusts, prompting a technical fault that resulted in the door opening.
