[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] A man who fell from a hot air balloon floating in the sky miraculously saved his life by grabbing onto a rope connected to the balloon.


According to the online media Radbible, on the 8th (local time), an accident occurred where a person riding a hot air balloon fell near the Teotihuacan Pyramid ruins, about 50 km northeast of Mexico City, the capital of Mexico.


The video released by the media begins with a man precariously hanging from the basket of a hot air balloon ascending into the sky. It is reported that shortly after the balloon took off, one side of the basket opened and the man slipped.


After losing strength, the man eventually fell from the balloon, but miraculously survived by getting caught on a rope connected to the balloon.


People on the ground held the rope to prevent the balloon from rising further, and the man was able to grab onto this rope at the moment of his fall.


Subsequently, with the help of people nearby, the man safely landed on a sheet spread out on the ground.



Meanwhile, following the report of the accident, authorities have begun an audit of the hot air balloon operating company and are investigating the exact cause of the accident.
