A total of 25 people including children were on the ride when it collapsed.
The horror accident happened in the Ajmer district of northern India's Rajasthan region.
Footage shows the ride operating normally - rotating with people high in the air - before plunging at high speed to the ground as people can be heard screaming.
Police say the crash happened after a cable broke, detaching the spinning platform from the central column, and sending it hurtling to the ground.
