0:00 thank you [Music] did someone talk to you right now about a story about a young boy he is six years old he's in Mexico he's with his family they're on vacation he's really excited because For the First Time in his young life he's going on a zip line oh it's gonna end so bad that sounds fun the Mexican zip lines though they're crazier than the ones here are they way faster they go faster aggressively High yeah I did like seven of them I want to give a trigger warning if you're if you don't have to watch a six-year-old die I gave a trigger one you made I was gonna watch this dude do something so fun is that a parent behind them you can't watch this damn dude when is it

0:51 gonna happen why are they going so slow nothing's happening well now there's ads okay so wait I think I misread this I think you know he lives I miss you ████ face ████ dude how did he just fall they don't exactly know they say the harness broke so I just failed is what they say sorry the harness failed and I'm sorry I misread it too the boy lift so the incident happened last Sunday in the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon nailed it and according to family members the boy's harness broke while he was on the zip line sending him into an artificial pool thankfully thank God that was located below the attraction and that was the part I didn't read when I was

1:42 doing the study for this [Laughter] reported the child fell nearly 40 in the artificial pools yeah yeah and he got very fortunate with the way that he landed did you know how to swim what's that I hope you knew how to swim no he but he heated a belly flop his belly was red yeah I wonder if he survived because he was like so small it could be could be um but yeah the CH so he was you know falling the parents were like holy ████ that's fair his dad said idios Mio I picked this one up

2:32 that'd be oh my God he had just learned it the night before at the hotel Barn he was like yeah come on what do you guys think good thing we signed those waivers Rancheros stupid he's that kind of dad man so yeah big surprise by the way the American family is filing a lawsuit against the Mexican zipline good luck I thought you gotta do a stingy with your with your signature on it well they're not losses don't work over there yeah why the zip lines are wild so apparently after the dad says ideas meal and then he looked around for that little bit of affirmation from from people around them um a tourist nearby jumps into the pool and saved the six-year-old and then members of the family blame porch poor

3:23 training because the dad is too busy looking for affirmations pretty good right like a local huh close your eyes and hear me and say it again yeah so jeez man yeah he actually suffered minor injuries very very fortunate he's gone kids oh man he's psychologically damn he doesn't want to have anything to do with zip lines for a while of course just throw them on immediately yeah just yeah you got to get them over it you gotta get over it exposure therapy yeah let's go right back up get the same exact harness but then just fix the little spot that broke yeah put it on them that actually might be the best thing pull them out of the river and just go right again right immediately right away how crappy of a harness does it have to be to fail while carrying a

4:13 60 year old yeah so if people was an adult yeah if it was an adult it would have ████ failed immediately you should have seen what the line was carrying before this explorled yeah probably oh ████ it's a person before wow because the Big Bloomers man how do people get so big San Antonio is the whole difference so this is the straw breaking the camel's back now we need to go on a worldwide diet yeah yeah yeah so what about the dad though on the zip line what about the dead I'm rooting for this yeah for the guy yeah is he the dad learned like some new terms he learned medical right he learned a couple new things on the way but yeah

5:04 thankfully the kid was like not really injured very minor injuries mostly psychological that's ████ scary man I hate zip lines he won't do it yeah he won't do this it's over he says I draw the line at zip lines son you gotta try it again come on let's get back out there yeah what happens when you fall off the horse you gotta get right back on he's like it's like they say in Italy encore [Laughter] kid almost died ████ kind of a crazy story so have you guys ever done a zip line before I have in Mexico so have you guys ever fallen off with it I've never had an artist Phil I've done a lot of zip lines here I feel like they all have in America right there's probably like like regulations

5:55 and like rules that they all have to abide by for the most safety ████ so then it all feels kind of the same when you go to Mexico it's some Next Level ████ dude they'll have stuff that's like a hammock you don't even strap down it's a ████ Hammock zip line that you hook on and you just go swinging down like you're a beautiful girl in a picture piece and you're like 40 feet in the air you're ████ up there and then the way you land is on water so you just crash into water you know I had to get down so I you do different zip lines but you keep hiking up and then the only way to get down they don't tell you this is you have to repel 400 feet off the side of a cliff that's an end repel at the end and then get on the bus that's tight I was like was that a Cancun uh Cabo Cabo for us it was like Zip Line after zip line

6:45 you want to do it yeah [Laughter] yeah and then one of them were just like can we both go on and they're like yeah sure and I was like they're just down for whatever oh yeah it is man but we just hooked up and just ████ wrapped each other on and just just yeah they gave you like a crash course all right this is what you do and you just uh this is how you repel in Cabo we were staying at a resort you know how they have like jet skis at the beach and ████ they had um I don't know if you ever been there when the storming is really bad they put these red flags at the beach that says no activities are allowed we went over the hundred dollars and go do whatever you want yeah we went over there jet ski guy and the jet ski guy like was all like bummed out and we were like oh man

7:36 don't feel so bad just because you know it's all closed and he's like no man my girl like broke up with me like I'm just not in mood I just hate that to be here today and then um he was like if you guys just want to grab a jet ski I don't give a ████ just go ahead oh ████ so then me and my ex got on one and we were in the ████ waves when it was like storming and ████ that's kind of sick immediately regretted it right I could have ████ died it was too crazy crazy is there visibility and you can't even like at that point you can't even go to an intended Direction without going it's waterboarding yeah it's choppy as hell how are you guys on the jet skis for minutes that's a fall Massacre dude your ████ testicles was getting ████ yeah yeah yeah yeah it was that one yeah so were you like let's turn it back around yeah I wasn't trying to like be cool yeah I just feel like no this isn't right you probably can't have kids [Laughter]

8:33 indoor skydiving and it is scary because it's like your little baby you know and then so like we're all doing it and like when you go in the center of the fan you're like flying around whatever and then when I was like Titus turn you see like the guy communicate with the fan operator like bring it down bring the fan girls like you throw a little tiger he's goes so I was like oh ████ like what the ████ and they're like you don't know what the hell's happening so you're just like oh I'm trying to be having somebody ████ jump in but I don't know what the hell's gonna happen yeah when you see him kind of just like floating around and they they keep hands on them the whole time and you just see this little kid like but it was scary looking did he like it no I hated his other one threw it ever again like indoor skydiving sucks it almost seems impossible to like do these things though doesn't it does anybody succeed to suing like a

9:24 Mexican zipline you feel like suing doesn't work outside of the U.S yeah it almost seems like you can't do it I think you should be thankful that your kid is safe is alive that's 43 oh that was ████ up yeah I thought he was gonna die at the beginning of the video I thought he did die but then I realized I just misread that laughs you didn't even see the clip huh nice eyes I saw him fall and I was like I will start crying again dude again we ████ him up after two girls that's why I don't like to watch videos in here anymore no I'll watch videos dude I'll watch that video again you watch two girls right now watch that ████ you want to end the video with Nick watch it [Music]
