One passenger called it "the worst two hours" of her life and stressed how important seatbelts are.

Another said his dad was thrown into the ceiling during a sudden 300-foot drop; his mom and young daughter were also injured.

Seven people were taken to Fortis Hospital for checks and treatment. The passenger's family had only minor injuries.

There are now calls for an investigation into what went wrong.
