Lawsuit filed against a Zip Line tour company
Posted: August 12, 2010 Filed under: Zip Line 4 CommentsA woman claiming injuries due to a collision on a Zip Line has filed suit against the business. Wahoo Zip Lines of Tennessee. The woman claims she was injured when she collided with another woman on the line injuring her fractured rib and injured tailbone. She is asking for $150,000.
The complaint is supposedly quite specific in what the company did wrong. They did not have radios?
The complaint claims the business was negligent in its management of the riders, including by not having two-way radios that would allow employees at the launch platforms to confirm that riders were clear of the landing platforms before sending the next person along the line.

If you had read more of this blog, you would see that this blog not about stopping anyting. First Zip lines are not dangerous. Second and most importantly what business is it of yours how people enjoy their lives. If they want to put their lives at risk for fun and entertainment, that is great. I will work hard to keep people like you from trying to control my life and the lives of others.

I am very concerned re: the dangers of the zip lines. I live in El Paso County near to Fox Run Regional Park.
This park is in a residential area.
The advisory board is considering a proposal to allow a commercial group to lease park land for a zip line business.
Please let me know what can be done to prevent this.
