Man And Son Visiting Gatorland Get Stuck On Zipline Over Gators

Holding onto a line over a pond of alligators doesn't sound too smart, but it's an activity you can do at Orlando's Gatorland theme park. Recently, a man and child got stranded on a zipline 40 feet above a pool of gators, and took some video. The footage was shared on Saturday (July 7th) on Facebook by WESH anchor Steward Moore, and shows the two stuck midway through the ride. The two ultimately got down safely. Nick Cahippina, the manager of the zipline ride, has since told WESH that the man and child were not in danger, that this type of thing happens "fairly often," and that employees are trained for these situations specifically. He blamed wind gusts for slowing the riders to a stop
