It happened at a fair in the town of San Pedro Pinula, east of Guatemala City, in Guatemala on Saturday (1 Feb).
The victims were treated at the scene before several were taken to a nearby private hospital for further medical care.
A fire department spokesperson said: “Fortunately, these people did not suffer any serious injuries that could threaten their lives.”
The victims were identified as Adrian Mendez, 26, Mayra Perez, 19, Keily Gomez, 13, Katherin Aguilar, 12, and Jose Aguilar, 10.
Three others were named as Glendy Mateo Gomez, Josefina Gomez, and Santos Gomez.
The identities of the other four victims have not yet been released.
The fire brigade said Mayra Pérez is five months pregnant, as reported by Need To Know.
An investigation into the cause of the collapse is ongoing.
One local said: “The authorities should monitor such rides to make sure they comply with all the necessary safety measures.”
