Two people were killed after being thrown from a brand new ride at an amusement park in China on Friday.

The 10-meter-tall ride, called "The Scream", at China's Zhejiang Pingyang Amusement Park was opened to the public for the first time on Friday, Chinese media JF Daily reported.

Witnesses told JF Daily that the staff may have started the ride before the tourists had a chance to buckle their safety belts.

Five people were thrown from the ride. A man and an eight-year-old boy were flung to their deaths. Three others were injured and two of them critically, JF Daily reported.
