Zipline Tragedy: Family Calls for Safety Reform | Australia News

from Australia News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A father of three died after plummeting 25 meters from a zipline in Far North Queensland, while his wife suffered serious injuries — and the family says it was preventable. Testifying at a coroner’s inquest, they accuse the operator of ignoring safety protocols, failing to register design changes, using unqualified staff, and neglecting critical maintenance on the wire rope grips. The family is furious no one has been held accountable yet, as the coroner prepares to deliver findings later this year — hoping for justice and closure in the wake of unimaginable loss.
