3 rescued from bungee ride at fair. Sarah Bloomquist reports during Action News at Noon on August 3, 2017.

A man hanging upside down in the air for nearly 30 minutes was rescued after a fair ride malfunctioned.

The man was dangling from a bungee jump ride at the Ventura County Fair in California late Wednesday night.

Rescuers used an aerial ladder to get the man back to the ground.

They also rescued two other people who were stuck in the bungee cage hanging from a crane.

The rescuers had to attach themselves from a harness and lowered themselves down a rope.

No one was injured.
