Opening Activity

On a zip line in Hawaii on Wednesday, one man was injured and in critical condition and one was killed.  They were working on a new course at a zip line facility in Maui.  The man died after falling 200 feet from a test run on the actual zipline from the collapsing of a support tower.  The injured man was on the tower and fell from it as it collapsed.  The course will now be closed for two weeks to make sure it is safe.  I think this is really scary because I've ziplined before and it's so much fun. It is scary that a man died, since .  It is somewhat reassuring, however, no matter how awful it was, that they did not just open up the course to the public.  They made sure to test it first, though the test run was obviously unsuccessful and caused a man's death.
