Another zipline horror story involved a zipline over a river. The zipline was not set up correctly, and as a result, the rider ended up in the water instead of reaching the other side safely. The water was fast - flowing and deep, and the rider struggled to swim to safety. It was a close call and a very scary experience for them. This highlights the importance of proper installation and setup of ziplines.
Sure. There was a case where the braking system on a zipline failed. The rider just kept going at high speed and crashed into the end platform. It was really a horror as they had no way to stop themselves. This kind of malfunction can be due to lack of regular inspection of the zipline equipment.
In one zipline horror story, a bird flew right into the path of a person on the zipline. It hit the person in the face and caused them to lose their grip on the handle. They were lucky to be caught by the safety ropes. It was a very unexpected and frightening incident. This also points out that there are various unpredictable elements in ziplining.
