Girl, 12, forced to jump off Australia's tallest ride after seatbelt malfunction

A child who was on a ride dubbed Australia's 'tallest travelling freefall' has described the moment she decided to jump in a desperate bid to stay alive as the harness holding her in malfunctioned.

Holly Brown and her friend Ava were the only two riders of the Mega Drop and having already had a go earlier in the day felt they knew what to expect.

The Mega Drop is described as the 'ultimate ride experience', dropping users from more than 130ft in the air, reaching speeds of 130mph.
