Zip Lines can be deadly

HILO, Hawaii (AP) — A tower collapsed during a test run of a zip line in Hawaii, sending one worker falling to his death and critically injuring another.
Police say the man doing the test run — a 36-year-old from Maui — was halfway across the 2,300-foot span when the tower collapsed Wednesday. He fell about 200 feet and died at the scene.
The other man — a 35-year-old from Ohio — was standing on the tower and fell about 30 feet.
The Hawaii Police Department said in a news release that the Ohio man was taken to Hilo Medical Center, where he was listed in in critical condition with multiple internal injuries.
Police say the two men were working on the attraction north of Hilo on the Big Island after the operator, KapohoKine Adventures, received complaints that the zip line was too slow.
Their names were not released.

Zipline IS deadly especially if taas kaayo imong agi-an, it is only safe if dili ma putol or ma tumba ang nag support sa cable.

the thrill is in the zipline... bungie jumping and this outdoor specialties are always a feast for thrill seekers and curiousity seekers...

if imo na jud oras, imo na jud oras... ana lang.. though prevention is better than a cure, and hope the people behind the ziplines here in Cebu can make SAFETY their foremost priority.. I still would agree...

Nothing beats taking the plunge and having your heart pump some adrenaline on it..

Of course, since it's considered an extreme sport/hobbie or whatever.
It's just like Skydiving.

Actually, dapat ang mga zip lines e check-up jud ni ug accredited safety engineer, dili lang moryo2x ang mobuhat ani.

If e follow jud nato ang atong balaod, daghan nang naka violate ani kay sometimes dili komplete ang ilang safety equipments in case mag fail ni.

Talking about Safety Engineer, kinsa nga school nag offer ug Safety Engineering diri sa ato bro?

Murag dili man tingali covered sa Industrial HSE ang recreational safety certification?
