A birthday celebration for a 10-year-old boy named Knox ended in a frightening incident on February 7th when he plummeted 20 feet from a zipline. The fall occurred at Spy Ninjas in Las Vegas, and video captured the moment he dropped towards the concrete floor, with witnesses heard screaming. Knox sustained a concussion but is expected to fully recover.
His uncle, who filmed the event, described it as the "scariest moment" and suspects a harness malfunction. An off-duty nurse on site provided critical first aid, stabilizing the boy until paramedics arrived. This nurse noted that the location of the fall was fortunate, avoiding nearby arcade games.
In response to the incident, Spy Ninjas stated that guest safety is their top priority. They confirmed their staff responded immediately and followed protocol. The zipline has been temporarily closed, and staff will undergo recertification. The company extended well wishes to Knox and his family for a speedy recovery.
