Adults and children scream as they are run over by a TANK after they are thrown from the vehicle at a military festival and it goes right over them

This is the terrifying moment adults and children scream after being run over by a tank during a Russian military festival.

Two men and two children were thrown off the top of the T71 war machine after being taken for a ride at the event in St Petersburg.

One man, Pyotr Nazarov, filmed himself as he toppled off the tank and was dragged under the caterpillar tracks. He broke his leg while the children miraculously escaped unharmed after falling between the tracks and the other man was thrown clear. 

The screams and moans of victims are caught on video while shocked onlookers shouted to the soldiers to stop the tank.

The T71 went up and down a small embankment at the Combat Steel festival in a city park. As it came down four of the seven riders were thrown off the front.

Nazarov – in his 30s – was filming and he recorded the horrific moment he fell head over heels off the tank. The screen suddenly goes black as he is caught under the T71.

His leg was caught under the caterpillar tracks, and the other man was thrown clear. Two children fell right under the tank – but between the tracks.

Nazarov, who broke his leg and was covered in blood with scratches and bruises, said: ‘I was the only one eaten by the tank.

Nazarov, who broke his leg and was covered in blood with scratches and bruises, said: ‘I was the only one eaten by the tank’.

‘They just did not care about security measures. Children should not have been there in the first place.

‘If a child had fallen instead of me, they would have been killed.’

He said: ‘There were about seven of us riding on the tank. The children were mostly sitting at the back and it saved them from being tipped under the caterpillar tracks.

‘If they had been sitting at the front, there would have been many more victims.’

Another tank at the festival had special bars for people to hold onto, but not this one.

Police are investigating safety breaches at the event.
