A young woman was spectacularly floored by a moving swing as she strolled through a shopping centre eating an ice cream.
Footage shows the youngster tucking into her dessert, apparently unaware of the swing moving nearby.
She walks straight into its path, is struck forcefully by the seat and is flung through the air before landing flat on her back.

The ice cream is knocked out of her hand and ends up splattered across the shopping centre floor.
Despite the force of the impact, the young woman manages to roll over and pick herself up, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The nasty-looking mishap is said to have occurred at Plaza Mayor shopping centre in León, Mexico, according to local reports.
After the footage began circulating online on 13 October, a social media user named Val commented to explain what happened.
She wrote: “The girl is my friend. I’m one of the people on the swing. She had a slight misalignment of her hip, but she’s fine.”

She later added: “She is in perfect health.”
Val’s account has not been independently confirmed, and no further details have emerged about whether the woman underwent a medical assessment or suffered any lasting effects from the impact.
Ariana commented: “They better have bought her a new ice cream.”
