Info from Licensor: "My children and I came to the deep and blue lake 'Gritsevsky quarry' for a walk, we did not plan to swim or bathe. We decided to walk around the lake. While going around the lake, which has a sharp cliff of 6-7 meters almost everywhere, there was a rope hanging, which we call 'bungee,' on which guys and girls swinging jump into the water. I suggested my children to go for a ride but not to jump into the water. I was the first, and everything was great. Mark (nephew) also wanted to go for a ride. I gave my phone to my daughter and she started recording the video, Mark pushed off very poorly because he was afraid of heights and his flight was slow, which led to the fact that there was not enough energy for the return force. I decided to help by grabbing him to pull him to the shore, but out of fear he did not let go of the 'Bungee' with one hand, which pulled him back into the water. Due to uncomfortable shoes, I could not hold him and slid on the grass into the quarry where, having flown 6-7 meters, I fell into the water, remaining completely healthy and unharmed."
