One woman was crowned as the last competitor standing in game of 'human roulette' at the 186th Oktoberfest.
The footage was taken by an onlooker at the Teufelsrad ride at the Oktoberfest festival being held in Munich, Germany.
The video begins with more than a dozen women wearing traditional Bavarian costume sitting at the centre of a wooden turntable facing outwards.
A huge crowd has gathered to watch the game which is being held in an event tent.
Music begins to play as the turntable slowly rotates.

As it starts to speed up some of the players let out a scream as they struggle to retain their grip.
One woman suddenly flies off the table in the bottom left of the screen and skids out of the competition.
A barrage of other women also lose their seats before getting to their feet and clambering out of the arena.
It does not take long for just two women to be left in the middle with neither of them seeming as if they will move any time soon.
Then more obstacles are introduced to hurry along the process of finding a winner.
A large, red and green ball swings down from the ceiling and knocks the girls on the head before swinging wildly through the air once again.
One of the remaining competitors gets hit directly in the face with it and temporarily lays flat before she too zooms off the wheel.
The last remaining woman, who is wearing a pink and purple dirndl, is not crowned as the winner there and then however.
She has to continue to battle with the ball as well as the introduction of lassos.
The crowd begins to clap to encourage the woman to hold on as she ducks out of the way and frees herself from the grip of the ropes.
More volunteers step toward her with lassos as the turntable suddenly stops and begins to spin the other way.
She is eventually dragged off but gets to her feet and is applauded by the audience for her efforts, which is where the video ends.
The game known as Teufelsrad, which means the Devil's Wheel, was first introduced to the German beer festival in 1910.
The last person left in the middle of the turntable becomes the Teufelsrad Königin.
They have different rounds for each demographic including children, women and children.
