First used more than a 100 years ago to transport supplies in the Indian Himalayas, ziplines have been a popular form of outdoor recreation over the past decade and “the rapid increase in zipline-related injuries in recent years suggests the need for additional safety guidelines and regulations,” warns a December 2015 study in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.According to the study, the annual injury rate per 1 million people increased by 52.3 percent from 7.64 injuries in 2009 to 11.64 injuries in 2012. Patients aged up to nine years old accounted for nearly half (45 percent) of injuries and females made up roughly the other half (53.1 percent) of injuries, while 11.7 percent of patients required hospitalization.’That Camera Did You Wrong’Viewers on TikTok were sympathetic towards the poster’s mortifying feeling in the viral clip, praising the woman for sharing the funny footage anyway.Reetmaj wrote: “I first thought you were wearing ballerina pink colored tights.” The poster replied: “Crying. you wouldn’t think I’d been in sunshine for 6 weeks would you.”User lhpftiktok asked: “was it full moon that day??” and Amanda Black said: “so funny though.”Cec noted: “That camera man did you wrong.”FiMacK1978 agreed, saying: “That camera placement feels like an actual personal attack!!”Skgdkgdkhflh noted: “This would have never left my photo library.”Jayne &Milo said: “Girl you are 100 percent a hero for sharing this .
