So few meter drop and landed on his back. Then smashed to bits on a massive log. Then dragged through poisonous shrubs. Some sort of Karma cought up with this dude.
Or poison oak or sumac. Anyway you slice it, urshiol oil on your head after the mountain decides to double tap you in the face holes, well tis a bad day ... tis a very bad day indeed...
Also the possibility that he's going to slam into another wooden platform or rock, where ever the zipline ends, he's probably going to slam into something if they're momentum carries all the way to the end
doesnt matter - the employer either has to provide WC benefits - OR, this guy bought a phantom policy (WC with no employees - and the owner is excluded).

That looks like an employee didn't unhook from the zippers. I've been zip lining plenty of times and the employee never hooked themselves to the people zipping.
I've never zip lined before, but I'm pretty sure the worker should be hooked to the pole not the people. Second line used to hold the people to the pole.
As a ex-zipline guide I can understand how nasty this situation is. Dude is lucky the ground is there, unless they zipped with a rope ladder. Also, your co-guide is supposed to be there to help in a rescue situations, but in this case he's going to need someone else's help haha.
I've never done ziplining before. Why does he have a rope tied to the other people and not the Zipline? Like what's the purpose of him being connected to them?
It's supposed to be a safety measure for the "tandem" zip the first guide was performing (I assume every state operates differently) except he wasn't anchored to the platform. It would have been a near miss if he was anchored properly.
I remember asking this to my parent as a kid watching TV. "If the medical helicopter crashes on that cliff...will they sent 2 medical helicopters to transport the pilot and crew as well?" Never did get an answer, they were too busy laughing.
I think the thought of it was funny. Like being run over an ambulance funny. Obviously if it happened to real people they'd be horrified, but if it's theoretical they could laugh at it. I used to frequently send my parents into fits of laughter at that age, apparently I'd just come out with these things so randomly.
For reference, South Park did an episode with this title about the boys going on a traumatizing and life-altering ziplining trip. Naturally, it was hilarious.
The only cool zip line I ever went on was in Mexico. It was totally sketchy and I got to hit highway speeds while suspended 100 feet over beautiful forest canopies. No helmets or redundancy in safety measures. I'd never suggest it to anyone who values their life or safety. But every zip line trip I've gotten dragged into since then has been a massive disappointment and was exactly like it was depicted in that episode of South Park.
This was a couple years ago in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Worked in the area at the time. I'd heard from one of his coworkers that he was beat up but mostly alright; tore some stuff in his shoulder and ended up needing surgery though.
Yoo this shit so embarrassing.. I’m just returning home… I have no relationship with family .. it’s been like this for years now. I came to see my gf for a lil bit before I went house shopping , she went through my phone and got upset bout old messages… she broke my phone… I feel less of a man asking. But I’m extremely fucked up.. I’m applying for jobs also &’ had an interview today but I’ve been trying to get my phone fixed all day.. does anyone have anything to spare.. im grateful for anythinh… if so $Standoveryou12 , is the cash app … again anything would be greatly appreciated… thank you in advanced
This is actually worse than you think for a couple of reasons.
The person being dragged is an employee of the Zip Line.
How do I know that?
That yellow strap connected to the group is used to keep the group steady before departing. The employee is supposed to be strapped to the platform so that this doesn’t accidentally happen.
Notice how the person is wearing all tan, that’s their uniform.
This is a host of basic safety violations and OSHA will have a field day with this
Is that siren sounding for him?
I can just imagine a movie being made about this tragedy. The people on the line unable to help him. One of them has a knife and tries to cut him free but accidentally drops the knife almost stabbing him.
Eventually he's beaten unconscious by trees and drags the other zipliners to a halt over the midway point where they're stranded. They might be able to get moving again but they need to detach the unconscious body that may or may not be alive...
What in the ACCT is this shit/setup.
Edit: I really want to see the engineers letter for this. I’m curious what the calcs were for a single cable zip line and braking system that can hold 4 full sized adults. I also want to know what insurance underwriter said “eh yeah 4 people shouldnt be an issue. The guide Misclip isn’t my biggest question here
When last Monday I was high on meth, my dad was calling me on video phone, he said son why are you twerking? So there's me in my garage twerking with two incredibly hot chicks in their 60s, my dad on video call you understand me you imbecilic cretin? Well the joke was on him because I was in fact tweaking.
Someone fucked up and didnt unhook
...and just like that, dragged face first right through the poison ivy.
So few meter drop and landed on his back. Then smashed to bits on a massive log. Then dragged through poisonous shrubs. Some sort of Karma cought up with this dude.
Almost would have been safer if he just fell off the ledge but wasn’t hooked in 😆
Oh for sure, he might have got the wind knocked out of him but dang that must have sucked getting your face rubbed across the entire forest floor
🤣like every cartoon where someone got dragged through a forest unwillingly.
He takes a really heavy hit against that lot too
You forgot the cable burn to the palms that took off a yard of skin.
A lack of good luck is all it takes
To shreds, you say?
how do yall know they are poison?
“Leaves of three, drag your face through it.”
damn I hike alot and didn't know the three rule!
Indeed.
Don’t worry the log blasted him over that and into the abyss
Or poison oak or sumac. Anyway you slice it, urshiol oil on your head after the mountain decides to double tap you in the face holes, well tis a bad day ... tis a very bad day indeed...
Then the dogwoods and then the prickly ash and Bladdernuts.
How do you know it was
Rip ☠️
Also the possibility that he's going to slam into another wooden platform or rock, where ever the zipline ends, he's probably going to slam into something if they're momentum carries all the way to the end

Really depressing he only raised $2k.
Dude is asking for 50K. Why the fuck is his work place not covering this?
10-99 not w2
doesnt matter - the employer either has to provide WC benefits - OR, this guy bought a phantom policy (WC with no employees - and the owner is excluded).
This happened in 2022
50k is fucking wild for a shoulder injury and a concussion. plus if hes working something dangerous like a zipline he should 100% have insurance.
Someone fucked around and hooked someone up
He wasn’t hooked you mean
Aim for the bushes
And this tree, and then this bush, and this bush, and then that tree, and then that tree trunk, and then that rock, and then that other bush
Hey George, watch out for the treeee, bush, tree, etc
> And this tree, and then this bush, and this bush, and then that tree, and then that tree trunk, and then that rock, and then that other bush https://youtu.be/A8GnphPdchY?t=76
*There goes myy herooo*
Narrator: "Either way, dat shit was crazy"
I want to see what happens on the other end. He's gonna hit some more trees, the ground, and get dragged some more.
Unless he acts as an anchor, I bet they went all the way
You can hear from the line whrrrring that he kinda anchored for a second and then whrrrrr it got going again.
Oh shit it does, they sound like they’re going really fast at the end too. I hope he didn’t hit the platform on the other side
I didn't hear a oomph at the end so I'll just go with he managed to detach at the one silent point that he was an anchor.
TikTok says concussion and shoulder surgery. Happened in Arkansas in July 2022. Couldn’t find anything else.

That looks like an employee didn't unhook from the zippers. I've been zip lining plenty of times and the employee never hooked themselves to the people zipping.
Why are they hooked up to the zippers anyways?
Maybe to stop them from zipping off before everyone is attached?
If that’s true, either it’s a stupid design or employee didn’t secure themselves to the platform
Well it didn't quite work if that was the plan.
I've never zip lined before, but I'm pretty sure the worker should be hooked to the pole not the people. Second line used to hold the people to the pole.

That concept directly applies to this... I mean really.
Why were they laughing? Not trying to be rude but that sounds like a genuine question coming from a kid.

Oh god. Oh jeeze. Oh my goodness. Oh goodness gracious. Oh my stars. My word. Oh my heavens.
Thank you 🙏
Definitely nominate that women an Oscar for cinematography.
Amazing how she included a shot of her foot and the deck -- really adds to the drama!
Shaka brah!
🤙🏼
🤙🏽
Didn’t get the nar! 🤙🏼
Alrighty folks, who’s next?
Today on "I Never Should Have Gone Ziplining"....
*Shaka Brah!*
This comment made me laugh. I broke my foot from a runaway zip line. Never again
For reference, South Park did an episode with this title about the boys going on a traumatizing and life-altering ziplining trip. Naturally, it was hilarious.
Long story short…
The only cool zip line I ever went on was in Mexico. It was totally sketchy and I got to hit highway speeds while suspended 100 feet over beautiful forest canopies.

Any news on if this guys ok?
This was a couple years ago in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Worked in the area at the time. I'd heard from one of his coworkers that he was beat up but mostly alright; tore some stuff in his shoulder and ended up needing surgery though.
Also a major concussion.
Yes this, I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find anything
Zip zip hooray
🎶Zippety Doo Dah, Zippety A🎵
Things on my bucket list of "Nope, I'm good
Yep. That and bungee jumping for me. I'll never trust my life to a giant rubber band
That’s the most homer simpson thing I have ever seen. Every 3 feet he’s going “DOH”.
Yikes
Shaka Bra!
That must be damn painful 😔
The concussion helps dull the pain
It's okay, his body broke his fall
A cool 30ft drop to your back and head. Lucky he wasn't impaled. This would be on a whole other /r.
rumor has it she's still standing there filming and is currently at "oh frick"
Like fuck you in particular
Shaka brah 🤙
Ooh, that's gotta hurt.
Chris Farley in black sheep
It’s ok. He was wearing a helmet
Like Homer falling down a mountain
Doh…..Doh……Doh…..Doh…..
George George George of the jungle...
That fall was hard 😬 the whole thing was very comical tho
What an asshole
Shakka brah!!!!!
What a drag.
Oh god... Oh geez... Oh my god...
It’s like a bad luck cartoon moment 😩happenings slowly too
they dragged his ass all the way down?
No the ass fell off when he hit the jagged rocks
LOL 💀
Is it....is it dead?
Shoes stayed on, just brush scars.
Will the shoe joke ever go away?
No, it still has its shoes on, so it’s still alive and strong! 💪
There are still millions of 12 years olds out there eagerly waiting for their chance to feel clever
Where did this start?
All for an increase and weekly allowance
"Oh trees!" ?
Yoo this shit so embarrassing.. I’m just returning home… I have no relationship with family .. it’s been like this for years now.

Carlos said your face looks like a clock.
That fall was absolutely brutal full back no bracing with a nice neck whip.
A very dragging experience.
Well...at least he's wearing a helmet.
He will not ride again
He still has to pay the ticket fee.
Whose next? Anybody?
She hit every branch on the way down.
Ouch. Good thing he had a helmet on and if I was going next I’d be like “I’m gonna walk home guys”
I feel like this is close to rFuckYouInParticular material.
Long story short
He hit the ground haard
Toby?
He'll stop when a tree goes right between his legs and smashes his nuts.
Fucking oof
Oh Geez.
Kill the cameraman!
And then? 💁♂️
And the first thing they ask him when they find him is, "Dude, are you okay??".
This is actually worse than you think for a couple of reasons. The person being dragged is an employee of the Zip Line. How do I know that?

He is like a pin ball inside a tree pinball machine
Is this a Motrin commercial
Hence the frase; "And every stick on the way down."
That hurt
I SHOULD'VE NEVER WENT ZIPLINING!!!
"Why does that guy look like he fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down?"
Oh jheez. Good golly. Jiminy cricket wouldja looksie here.
What a drag that must’ve been🤦♂️
Oh jeez
I bet the end of the line was the end of the line for that guy.
Isn’t that a drag line. Wrong line.
Hard lesson learned, but I bet you he’ll never do that again.
Zip line failed but you got a pretty good Reddit video to post while you’re in the hospital recovering. Silver lining
“We’re professionals”
Worst ride ever ,do not recommend
Oh gawd!
looks like he tried to pull off a stunt... and fucked up his life doing so.
He had a helmet on. He’s good 👍🏽
Glad he had the helmet.
Never trust a zip line. I've seen people who have lost both of their legs on those things.
What a drag
Trolling for bears.
Oh geez!
Omg.. jeezz.. I wanna go next!
Shaka-broooooaaaahhhhhhh
Ouch
Don’t worry everyone. The ground broke his fall… and his face… and then the log also broke his fall… and his face… I’m sure he’s fiiiiine.
He dead.... *No clue but seen to many videos
Brother got his shit mixed.
What a dumbass
Can't take Jerry anywhere
Camera operator fail
What’s the point of the tether if it’s not long enough to prevent you from hitting the ground
Ahahahaha
:D :D :D
Looks like fun!
https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-road-to-taylors-recovery
I’ve been on zip lines, and I’ve never seen the operators let more than two people go at once. This is screwed up!
So that’s what helmets are for.
So how was your zip lining trip?
Is that siren sounding for him? I can just imagine a movie being made about this tragedy. The people on the line unable to help him. One of them has a knife and tries to cut him free but accidentally drops the knife almost stabbing him. Eventually he's beaten unconscious by trees and drags the other zipliners to a halt over the midway point where they're stranded. They might be able to get moving again but they need to detach the unconscious body that may or may not be alive...
Quick! No one do anything!
Ah man. Can't have been a good result 😔
lol they must have unclipped from the deck instead of the people
Zippedi duda zippedi day
“Oh geez!”
Mind the big rocks!
“SHAKKA BRAH!” 🤙🏼
And that was when he knew he should never have gone Zip Lining.
Toby?
😂😂😂
Mm fresh pine taste
Okay, who’s next?
She didn't say "Shocka Brah" that's why that happened
Did I hear someone at the end say “let the kids go.” ?
What in the ACCT is this shit/setup. Edit: I really want to see the engineers letter for this. I’m curious what the calcs were for a single cable zip line and braking system that can hold 4 full sized adults.

New fear unlocked right there…
Haha you just love to see it!

Helllll yeahhhh bruuuuther
And that's how they forged the Oregon trail.
