This is the dramatic moment a float carrying dozens of people overturned during a festival in Osaka, Japan last week.
The incident occurred on September 15 during the Kishiwada Danjiri festival in which locals drag 4-metre floats - or "danjiri" - through the streets at high speed.
The video shows the float attempting to round a corner too fast and toppling over into the road.
Most of those on board appear to leap to safety as the 4-tonne wooden vehicle falls.
There were no reports of any injuries.
The Kishiwada Danjiri Festival is known as one of Japan's wildest festivals and is notoriously dangerous.
Some participants are injured most years in their eagerness to prove their bravery by riding the floats.
