　　印度的人力摩天轮

　　Daily Mail: Most Ferris wheels rely on a motor to keep them turning - but not at an amusement park in India.

　　The attraction in the state of Himachal Pradesh, in Northern India, is instead turned by human workers.

　　Two men are employed to stand on the spokes¹ at the centre of the wheel and keep it turning as visitors ride in cars to take in the view.

　　A video has emerged² showing daredevil workers clambering over the wheel in an attempt to keep it spinning.
