A roller coaster at Thorpe Park was stopped in mid-air this morning and all the passengers were "evacuated" after a passenger put their leg out of the cart.
A Thorpe Park spokesperson said: "We stopped Colossus because a guest ignored our ride restrictions and put their leg outside of the cart while on board Colossus which was spotted by our vigilant staff on CCTV."
