The Zip-Line Crash in Cabo

- Zip-lining crash in Cabo San Lucas. The people in front of us weren't clear and on the next platform before we were let go (which we were unaware of until we hit them!). They apparently didn't have enough momentum to get all the way across. We should never have been sent down that line. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt.
This happened to me last year and it's the reason why I'm so scared to go on zip lines again. I crashed into the guy at like 20-30 something mph and I took the whole impact on my thigh and hip and my hip hurt for a whole month. It was the scariest thing ever, I heard my neck crack and I swung around violently and thank God you wear helmets on these things! The guy I crashed into was pretty tall and we both had to be pulled back by two girls and idk how they did it bc they struggled for a good while.
Horrible management was the cause of this accident. Seriously how do you send two customers on the same line at the same time? The useless staff didn't even bother to go out on the line to help them back.
obviously you didnt see the whole video, but yes they made a huge mistake
Yall should not be scared, this is an unsafe zipline, the trolly which is the metal thing that attaches to the cable is unstable and the instructor sending the person down was not wearing a helmet, at all safe ziplines the top person will confirm with the people at the bottom (the breakers) that the people have successfully gotten off, before sending someone down.
For all you know-it-alls (Like IcemanNCSU, Jonathan Mcgrew and ali adrioti) who commented that we should have pulled ourselves off, this was the first time I've ever zip-lined, it was 2 women (not dudes), we were petrified, we hit the people in front of us very hard, and they were older people. And the employees told us to stay put. We were never instructed on how to get ourselves off of the line in case of a CRASH. So keep yer trap shut. How about that?
Wild Canyon should be shut down. The most extreme thing about this desert attraction is the mismanagement by the people in charge. They completely take advantage of thrill seeking vacationers while accidents like this happen way to often. Google information regarding the Bakersfield man who is in a coma after riding the zip line here, and read some of the negative experiences posted on TripAdvisor.
I fell 3 stores from a zip line a few weeks a go and I broke my back. Please be careful with this dangerous sport
Its true, I saw her.
Liar
@@Idrell have you ever fallen 3 storys down on a zipline?
@@Samimies 7 stories
Stores
I just god back from Cabo yesterday. And i went to wild canyon.On the 8th run i was backward because the guy told me to put my feet up and i did but i just turned backwards.Either way it was really fun.
I am a zipline guide and what he is doing is one of the hardest things to do...
You couldn't PAY me to partake in this potentially deadly activity. Guess I'm just not the adventurous type. Sorry.
I've zip-lined only once, in Russia. In a place where cows and cars share pothole-filled streets. Everything went swimmingly.
I guess their quality and safety standards were higher and the personnel had more common sense...
This stinks that it happened but why was there no effort by the zip liners to pull yourself in? I didn't have enough momentum in Ecuador once over a waterfall and I just did what they taught me to do. Turn around, grab the line with both hands and if you can wrap your legs over the line and pull yourself along. If you can't do your legs, your hands will slowly get the job done for you too. It is a workout but it gets you closer and you are able to get off quicker than just waiting...
There were 4 people all tangled up, bruised and freaking out... easier said than done.
How did he hold on for that long? Harnesses hurt and how did he hold on!!
My brother got his hand caught in the line on the last run here and got stuck like this. The staff were ready to crawl out to him with no safety gear. Eventually my brother freed his hand and got moving but he could have been killed
Wouldnt any of you have reached up and hugged the cable..... like right off the bat?
Gee, that sure looks like fun. NOT.
Eso pasa cuando la instalación es diseñada y construída sin experiencia real en esta actividad!!!
I don't get it,what happen??? I've always seen zipline signs in Colorado ..I think is fun! I just never got on one I never thought bad things can happen...now I'm scared...
Radio?communication? WTF you try to kill them .How can you clip the other cuz the line was not clear.
Los Cabo ?
Stay away from these stupid zip lines
I know several young mothers and their mothers who think it OK to put their children on these things and comment on their "fearlessness." This is not a sport. You have virtually no control. There is no skill whatever. A sack of short-grained rice would beat you in a race. Get on your bike and start down a steep hill and you have brakes, a steering mechanism and your sense of survival. These stupid things are (sorry to say it for those of you injured) for credulous fools in search of a social personality. No one is actually impressed by anything except your desperate need NOT to look "chicken." There is a lot of confusion about the notion of "just desserts." NO ONE deserves to be injured, maimed or killed on these things or on the extreme water slides or bungee jumping jaunts, but anyone who agrees to get on these devices is asking for trouble and will be responsible for whatever happens to them. There is no meaningful benefit to this activity that can compare to the potential tragedy. Want a thrill, go to jump school and take a parachute jump with your instructor attached to you. That "ride operator actually has skin in the game and badly needs you to arrive OK. Them's better odds and the view is superior.
Que les paso
Zip lines are the dumbest tourist traps. Go skydive
1:10 *there is a bunch of liones down there waiting 4 the bitches 2 fall down*
Wtf? Do you even know where this is lol
wrong!. you should have !. listen carefully to the instructions. ". the guy shaking the line if... you listen to the previous 20 minute talk about rules and safety regulations for a safe envirement in a dangerous activity, with you previously at desk fron suposably read.... and signed the guy shaking the line means stop also im shure he gave you hand signals. Thise are just consecuenses of a customer not listening to the parks weight limits safety regulations... etc! i take that most of the people not that many! make it with no complains through a progresively experienced level hike and not making it trough it!
+ale andrioti It was not that they did not stop, it is the fact that their guide was a complete idiot. I train zipline guides at the one I work at, and if one of my trainees sent someone down a zipline like that they would be fired on the spot. Their guide broke a basic safety rule when the line was not clear, and he sent them. And until you have professional experience in ziplineing, you have no right to say otherwise.
ale andrioti could i get a translator please
You try to blame any one but not the guides,How is their safety priority,ha ha that funny i bet you are the member of their team........Hey make sure the line was clear that was a rule no1
Wild Canyon. I never got my money back either, though they promised to do that.
Terri Delarosby, yep and probably didn't get an apology either! Comes with the territory which can't even support their on people!
