An acrobat at Groena Lund amusement park in Stockholm had stepped out of an attraction Wednesday and saw a 16-year-old boy holding tight to the gondola of the Ferris wheel. He had somehow fallen out of the passenger compartment and was hanging 30 feet above the ground. A trained acrobat, he scaled the Ferris wheel, reached the teenager and pushed him back inside the gondola car.
