A video of the moment a boy crashed into a sloth while ziplining through Costa Rican forest has gone viral on the internet and people are poking fun at the situation. I watched the viral video and felt the crash myself.
According to the Daily Mail:
The boy, who has not been named, was zooming through the forest canopy with a guide at Go.Adventure Arenal Park, which is on the slopes of Arenal Volcano, when he bumped into the unexpected obstruction on Sunday, March 13.
In video taken by the guide, the child can be seen colliding head-on with the slow-moving animal, which had somehow managed to climb from the trees onto the zip wire.
In the footage the man can be heard telling the child ‘no brake’ at as they set off on the ride. They quickly pick up speed before the sloth comes into view.
The boy is going so fast he is unable to slow down before he hits the animal, which brings him to an abrupt stop.
The child can be heard saying ‘I just clocked it straight in the face’ after the head-on collision.
After a moment to gather their bearings the guide untangles the boy and the sloth and the furry animal begins to walk down the line, even appearing to wave at the pair as it goes.
Flavio Leiton Ramos, owner of the park, said fortunately the sloth and child were both ok.
It’s good that both the boy and the sloth got no injuries after crashing into each other on the zipline in the forest.
I have no idea why this is so funny to me. It is good the sloth didn’t try to claw his eyes out or anything. I wonder if the boy will ever do it again?
