The family of a 6-year-old boy in Mexico who fell from a zipline after a harness failed will file a lawsuit against the ride’s operator.
Family members of the 6-year-old said on Facebook that the incident happened on Sunday at Parque Fundidora’s Amazonian Expedition, an amusement park attraction located in the Mexican state of Nuevo León.
According to the family members, the boy’s harness broke while he was on the zipline, sending him into an artificial pool that was located below the attraction. Mexican media outlet ABC Noticas reported that the child fell nearly 40 feet into the artificial pool, citing local authorities.
Video provided to Fox News Digital shows the child riding the zipline before coming to a stop, where the harness can be seen failing shortly after.
