A woman from Glasgow was left 'mortified' after her seatbelt would not close on a ride at a theme park and she had to get off it.
Karen Fay, aged 52, said that she 'wanted the ground to swallow her up' when she could not go on the Nickelodeon Land ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach with her daughter.
