The woman, identified as Siti Halijah Abd Rahim, suffered a spinal fracture, according to her brother Mohamad Yakub.
“On the day of the rope swing activity, she actually wanted to go first, but I told her that I should do it first and wait for her by the river,” he told reporters.
He added: “She was 10 metres up and we had a small chat before she jumped. When I turned to the spot where she was supposed to land, I heard a huge splash in the water.”
A cable failure had led to her fall and she underwent spinal surgery at the Selayang Hospital on Tuesday (29 September).
That rope swing accident @ KKB is horrific. I hope the girl will recover from her spine injuries.

Yakub said that the rope swing operator attended to the family’s needs and took full responsibility for what had happened: “We don’t want to blame the activity operator and the family accepts this as God’s will.”
We’re hoping for your speedy recovery, Siti Halijah!
