Tourists have been accused of being too skinny after getting stuck on a mountain zipline.
Two groups ended up stranded in mid-air.
It happened on The Baiyun Ropeway which opened five years ago on Baiyun Mountain, also known as White Cloud Mountain, in Guangzhou, China near Hong Kong.

Six ziplines span a distance of 4,921ft (1,500m) between the mountain and the Huangpodong Reservoir.
During the ride, thrill-seekers experience a rapid drop of over 655ft (200m) in height like they’re “flying through the air.”
However, two groups were left stranded on the lines last Wednesday (2 Oct)
Luckily, they were only around 33ft (10m) from the platform at the bottom.
But the company blamed the wind and the tourists themselves.
A spokesperson said: “Sometimes light people will get stuck on the zipline when encountering crosswinds, which is a normal phenomenon.
“If there is wind, people who are too light, such as children, may get stuck.
“The zipline is recommended for tourists weighing over 48kg (7.5 stone).
“While tourists weighing less than 48kg can also ride the zipline, they may get stuck in the wind.”
The company points out that the ride is unpowered and tourists need to rely on their body weight and momentum to glide the full distance.
Although signs are on display, they also vowed to give “lighter visitors” further reminders before riding the zipline, as reported by What’s The Jam.
