A cruise passenger got trapped in a transparent slide suspended 159 feet over the sea in horror scenes. People reports the incident occurred on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Bliss, during an Alaska-bound voyage off the coast of Canada. In footage that went wildly viral, and uploaded on Sept. 19, an unidentified woman can be seen motionless in the Ocean Loops ride. The cruise line operator states that passengers must weigh between 120 and 300 pounds and be at least 40 inches tall to ride the attraction. It is unclear whether these criteria were met. Meanwhile, an animation of the slide depicts a section where riders go uphill. During the video, which has amassed 6.8 million views and more than 238,000 likes, a person can be heard saying in the background, “Oh my God, she’s literally stuck.” The Daily Beast has contacted Norwegian Cruise Lines for comment on the incident.
