Woman falls from zipline in the Alps and crashes into a forest 20 meters below

How could the accident have happened? The mystery remains unsolved in the Italian Alps. A 41-year-old woman died on a zipline course. While flying over a forest, in the Bitto Valley between two villages, she was no longer held by the steel cable that she was hanging over another forest. Shortly before reaching her destination, she fell and crashed 20 meters below.

When help arrived at the Fly Emotion air sports center in Albaredo per San Marco, near Lake Como, it was unfortunately too late for Ghizlane. His injuries were too severe. She died at the scene of the accident.

Currently, the causes of the accident are not known. Why did the safety belt that attached the passenger to the steel cable come loose? On this zip line which reaches 120 km/h, the passengers are in a horizontal position. It appears that the victim was in a vertical position before he fell, assures Italian TV RAI.

According to the first findings, the harness that kept the forty-year-old suspended with her did not fall into the void. The Sondrio prosecutor’s office had seized the equipment the victim was equipped with by the carabinieri. The victim’s body will be autopsied.

The victim was a Moroccan who had lived in Italy for several years. Married, she had no children. She had come to have fun with several members of the family, including her two nieces.
