The Palma Fire Brigade had to be called in on Saturday afternoon when an attraction at the Fira del Ram Easter funfair had a malfunction.

Shortly before 2.30, the Rocket came to a halt, leaving a number of people suspended in the air; the tower itself is some sixty metres high.

The firefighters used a ladder truck to get up to the individual rockets, five of them, in which people were trapped.
