Five tourists flung through the air when 'donut boat' ride crashes in Indonesia

For most of us, lying on a sandy Indonesian beach sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But as American writer Ralph Emerson once put it, 'it's not the destination, It's the journey' that really matters. And for five unlucky individuals, their journey involved a speedboat, an overturned inflatable ring, and an impulsive captain, that saw them soaring through the air and slamming into the ground. Footage showed t he speedboat was pulling the 'donut boat' across the sea when it veered too close to the coast of Pinrang Regency in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. In an instant, what was a thrilling ride turned into a moment of terror as the inflatable hit the shores of Pantai Harapan Ammani Beach before flipping through the air. Five tourists, seen wearing orange life vests, were hurled from their seats and tumbled on top of fleeing children. They were flung far into the air, soaring for a moment before they all crashed back down to earth.
