This is the terrifying moment families were thrown from capsized rafts on a high altitude water slide and left hysterically clinging on for dear life.
The shocking incident was caught on camera at a theme park in eastern China on Saturday.
Scary footage shows an overturned dinghy with a mother and young child trapped underneath as they are ploughed into by another one fast approaching from behind.
Despite standing several metres above ground in the treetops, the ride only has very short railings, sparking scenes of sheer panic.
Throughout the entire ordeal, passengers could be heard yelping in fear.
As the mum and child get dragged down the slope, a stranded woman thrown from another boat can be seen stumbling along screaming for help.
Struggling to keep her balance, she grips to the side barriers of the glass-bottomed slide before grabbing hold of a pillar.

But in doing so, she was almost flung over the edge towards what appears to be at least a 12ft drop to the ground below, if not further.
Desperately shrieking and crying out for help, the visibly petrified woman manages to cling on for around 20 seconds.
A man passing by on a bridge underneath can be seen trying to come to her aid, but another set of rafts then appear, hurtling around the corner towards her.
As the oncoming dinghies get closer, she frantically holds her hands out towards them.
Under the force of the water, she then slips before falling onto the hard floor of the slide and being taken away by the rapid downward stream.

The boats bash into her just as the video cuts out at the amusement park in Tonglu in Zhejiang Province.
She was reportedly miraculously saved at the next turn, according to MailOnline.
However, the young child on the first capsized raft is said to have sustained several injuries and was bleeding from their head.
Fortunately they are said to be in a stable condition and no one was seriously hurt.
Last week, thrill seekers in Canada were left hanging upside down from a theme park ride after it broke down in mid-air.
In August, children were trapped inside a cable car dangling at 1,200ft for 16 hours after one of the wires snapped in Pakistan.
Back in the UK, eight people were stranded at the top of a 72ft-high rollercoaster after it stopped working in July.
