Authorities have identified the woman who died after falling approximately 35 feet from a zip line at a Delaware state park.
Police say 59-year-old Tina Werner of Felton, Kent County was standing on a platform, waiting to descend on a zip line.
It was at this point, police say, she fell from the platform to the ground.
The fatal accident occurred around 2:35 p.m. Wednesday at the Go Ape Tree Top Adventure attraction at the Lums Pond State Park, located at 1068 Howell School Road in Bear.
Authorities say paramedics had to perform CPR en route to Christiana Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Other guests - some veterans of zip lining - were saddened and shocked about how something like this could have happened.
"I mean it's very safe, the equipment is very safe," said John Lunsford of Bear, Delaware. According to the company's website, Go Ape offers a tree-top adventure experience, featuring a two to three hour journey through the forest canopy, with suspended obstacles, Tarzan swings and zip lines.
"The staff basically takes you through how to hook up to the wires and everything as you're going across all the obstacles," said Lunsford.
"To me it's always been very safe, and it's a super fun activity around this area for sure," said Tara Altenritter of Bear, Delaware.
Lunsford says he could imagine how it's possible for someone to fall.
"I could imagine, yes. I mean if they didn't go through the precautions of hooking themselves up with the carabiners, lost their balance and fell whatever point on the platform, it could be possible," said Lunsford.
