The mother of a 10-year-old boy who suffered serious injuries after falling from a zip line in September has filed a lawsuit.
Kimberly Barnes, of Lakeland, Florida, is suing Urban Air Adventure Park, also in Lakeland. The suit filed on Monday claims employees failed to check or secure the boy's harness at safety checkpoints before he went on the ride.
According to a statement from the family's law firm, Morgan & Morgan, the boy's harness gave way seconds after leaving the "Sky Ride" platform, and he fell over 20 feet, landing on cement.
He was airlifted to a hospital, where he spent five days, with serious injuries. He required surgery for broken bones, a collapsed lung and a brain injury.
