Two teenagers are catapulted through the air as swing snaps at playground in Kazakhstan

Shocking footage has revealed the moment two teenage boys were catapulted onto the ground while playing on a swing in Kazakhstan.

The teenagers, aged 14 and 13, had both been stood on the same swing when it snapped from the metal beam at the top under their weight and flipped them over in a playground in Pavlodar in the northeastern part of the country.

The pair, who had been moving back and forth on the same swing to gain momentum, were then flung into a fence before horrified adults ran to their aid.

The boys were rushed to Pavlodar Regional Children's Hospital and diagnosed with head injuries, a concussion, bruises to the chest and soft tissue damage.

The moment of the incident was filmed on a street CCTV camera and shared online by local media.

During the footage, the boys, who have not been named, move back and forth on the swing and gain momentum as they rise higher into the air.

Just seconds later, the swing detaches from its metal framework under their weight and flips over before crashing to the ground along with the boys.

One of the boys, dressed in a blue T-shirt, falls on the ground, while the other, dressed in a white T-shirt, lands on a metal fence.

As they roll around in pain and try to get to their feet, adults in the playground rush to their aid.

Following the incident, hospital spokeswoman Kamshat Kunpeisova said to local media: 'Both kids were admitted to the hospital in moderate condition. They are receiving medical care they need in full.'

The teenagers lives are not believed to be in any danger, according to reports.

The residents of the neighbourhood where the incident happened say the playground was built four years ago.

Local resident Yekaterina Plaksina commented: 'We asked children to swing in turn but they climbed the swing together anyway. The structure broke under their weight.'

Police are carrying out enquiries into the incident.
