6-year-old plummets from zipline after harness fails at amusement park

A 6-year-old boy plummeted nearly 40 feet after his zipline harness broke at a Mexican amusement park, shocking footage of the incident shows.

The child is recovering after the terrifying fall at Parque Fundidora’s Amazonian Expedition in Nuevo León on Sunday.

Family members said on Facebook that the boy’s harness broke, causing him to plunge into an artificial pool set up below the zip line attraction, Fox News reported. 

Disturbing video obtained by the outlet shows the young boy moving across the zipline with an adult when they suddenly come to a stop and the boy falls.

Onlookers can be heard screaming in horror as the boy is mid-air before the clip cuts out.

The boy fell nearly 40 feet, authorities told Mexican media.

Family members, who identified the boy as Cesar, said a good Samaritan tourist jumped into the water to help the boy.

The boy’s brother told Fox News that Cesar suffered minor injuries from the fall but is “psychologically damaged” and “afraid.”

Nuevo León government agencies suspended a number of attractions at the park in response to the incident as authorities investigate.
