Mexican family of 6-year-old boy who fell from amusement park zipline to file lawsuit

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.

J Cesar Sauceda told Fox News Digital that his family is filing a lawsuit against the zipline ride's operator and the park. 

According to the family, a tourist nearby jumped into the pool and saved the 6-year-old child, named Cesar. Members of the family blame poor training of the park's staff members for not handling the situation better.

Sauceda previously said that his brother suffered minor injuries and is recovering from the incident, 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.

UK's $125M AI chip investment not enough to keep pace in tech race, experts warn: 'Go big or go home'

The United Kingdom has pledged to spend 100 million pounds (or $125.8 million) on buying and developing computer chips necessary for artificial intelligence (AI) systems in a move that seeks to cement Britain as a global leader in the sector, but experts worry it is not enough to match the competitive market.  "The U.K. has a valuable perspective on AI development – sitting between the U.S. free-for-all position and the EU regulatory approach – that makes it the perfect venue for the first international AI global safety conference," Alan Mendoza, co-founder and executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital.  British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak plans to build thousands of high-powered artificial intelligence chips, building on a deal struck between the U.K. and U.S. during his state visit in June when he and President Biden signed the "Atlantic Declaration."  The White House touted the agreement as something that would ensure that the ...
