In case roller coasters weren't a rickety mish-mash of nightmares as it is, this one broke down mid-ride at Sea World Australia Friday, leaving all on board teetering high above the ground in high winds.

Rather than cowering in fear however, the kids on board celebrated the occasion with the saving power of the dab.

The Storm Coaster (more like sh*t storm coaster) had up to eight people trapped in its cart when the ride stalled, according to The Courier Mail.

Look at these kids. They're living for the attention, waving in frivolity and giving hella thumbs up as a news helicopter hovers overhead. Then there's mister black t-shirt who's found himself in the perfect situation commence dabbing.

A spokesperson for Sea World also told Yahoo "a sensor fault occurred, leading to the ride's safety systems being engaged," adding our "highly trained staff ensured the safest outcome was achieved with the guests led down the stairs to ground level without incident."

All those were safely rescued and returned to the ground, and presumably went dabbing into the sunset.
