A six-year-old is fortunate to be alive after his zip line harness broke and sent him crashing into a man-made lake at an amusement park in the northeastern Mexico state of Nuevo León on Sunday.
The frightening incident was caught on video by the family and shows César Moreno zip lining 40 feet above the artificial lake at Amazonian Expedition in Fundidora Park.
An adult male can be seen sliding up next to Moreno and guiding him along the way when the safety belt suddenly snaps.
The man comes to a full stop and several people in the background scream before the recording ends.
The boy's sister, Nataly Moreno, revealed on Facebook that a Good Samaritan jumped into the lake to save her little brother from going under and nearly drowned while doing so.
But her brother and boyfriend rushed into the lake and brought them to safety.
