In the 40-second clip, the pair can be seen standing on an elevated platform on the stage. The stage is lit up with fireworks and also has performers who are dancing. The couple is standing inside a decorated round-shaped swing. As the celebrations gain momentum, the swing begins to rise upwards, elevating both of them to a height of about 12 feet from the stage.
The crowd present at the wedding begins to cheer for the duo as they are being elevated by the swing.
However, suddenly, the harness of the swing breaks, causing the pair to fall from a height of 12 feet. In the video, the duo can be seen crashing on the ground within seconds. As soon as the harness breaks, neither the bride nor the groom get time to collect themselves and even before they realize, both of them have landed on the ground.
As the swing falls, friends and family of the couple can be seen rushing towards them to rescue them. The newly-wed pair did not sustain any major damage and suffered only minor injuries. The wedding celebrations also resumed some time after the mishap.
While the accident was grave in nature and could have turned out to be horrific, the couple was lucky to not have sustained any major injuries. The event company which had organized the ‘Sangeet’ ceremony of the couple has accepted its mistake, saying that it will take care of not repeating such dangerous mishaps in the future.
