THIS is the moment a boy is catapulted 20ft onto the ground as a fairground bungee ride goes horrifically wrong.

The 13-year-old was still conscious after he sustained four major fractures at the Kok-Tobe centre in Almaty, Kazakhstan.Credit: East2west NewsCredit: East2west News Witnesses can be heard screaming in a video shared on social media as the boy is detached from the ride and flies through the air before landing on paving stones.

Reports said the elastic rope snapped at the point the teenager was supposed to be vertically catapulted at the city’s Kok-Tobe mountain recreation area. But the video shows the elastic intact after the accident and it is suspected there was a problem with the harness or strapping for the daredevil ride.He suffered four compression fractures of his lumbar vertebrae, as well as a broken wrist, ankle and heel.“The boy who fell from an attraction at Kok-Tobe has many fractures,” said head of the public health department Tleukhan Abildaev.
