Zip line from hell 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
This one happened to me while i was on holiday. I had mett up with a few other people around the area and there was one guy I particularly liked. Although i am not immune to stupid mistakes, this guy was insane.
In our wanderings we came across a suspended cable. with conviniently nearby tree. "Hey look a zipline!" ummm.....yeah. sure. more likely a power line maybe? unfortunately i totaly fail to convince the guy not to try it. so he grabs a nearby stick, climbs the tree and jumps on. luckily for him, he managed to do it without touching cable and ground at same time so isnt electrocuted. UNFORTUNATELY the story doesnt end there. the stick then snaps sending him plumeting to the ground, causing him to break a leg. sure, he didnt die, but the clock must be ticking.
