Young Boy Survives After 40-Ft Fall After His Harness Breaks While Zip-Lining

A 6-year-old boy is grateful to be alive after he fell 40 ft. due to his zip-lining harness breaking.

According to the NY Post, the boy and his family were visiting an amusement park in Mexico when all hell broke loose.

As the boy and one of his adult family members zipped down the line, the boy came to a sudden stop then immediately plumped to the ground. Luckily, he fell into an artificial pool, where a bystander was able to swim and save him.

Obviously, the family isn’t too happy about this incident because they plan on suing the amusement park and the ride’s operator.

They blame poor training of the park’s staff members for not handling the situation better. They say the boy is okay physically but is “psychologically damaged” and “afraid.”

A Nuevo León government agency suspended several attractions at the amusement park following the incident. Authorities said the zipline is an attraction within Parque Amazonia that is operated by an individual.

A government investigation into the incident is underway, according to officials.
