A group of people visited the Bunso Eco Park in the Eastern Region, but a plus-sized lady faced a challenge while enjoying herself on the zip line.

The plus-sized lady went on the zip line and got stuck midway, possibly because of her weight.

In a video on X, the lady was fitted with the needed safety gear before going on the zipline. Usually, the rider is pushed by the officials so he or she can go.

The zipline uses gravity to pull a rider along a cable stretched between a high point and a lower point.

The Bunso Eco Park pushed the lady from the high point, but she got stuck. When the park officials realised she could not continue, they rescued her.

A park attendant threw up a thick rope and gave her instructions to attach it to her safety gear. After she attached it, they helped her to come down.

While all this was happening, other people at the park watched. Some pulled out their phones to capture the moment. Others also shouted and called for help for the stranded lady.

"People laughing but getting stuck mid-air on a zip line is actually scary. Safety protocols should always come first. This is why most zip lines have weight restrictions. Physics doesn’t negotiate with confidence."

"But sometimes Ghanaians are very wicked and harsh instead of looking for a vital way to help her, y'all just picked up your phones and started to record? She might even die from such exhaustion."

"All jokes until she drops 🤦‍♂️ Ghanaians, let’s be serious, things like this shouldn’t happen."

@Great8_Grace said:

"Embarrassing moment aside, the real question is whether the park enforced the safety guidelines properly. Everyone wants adventure until gravity reminds you it’s in charge. Instead of mocking her, the focus should be on whether the staff assessed safety before letting her try it."

@Great8_Grace said:

"Zip line no dey check body size before it embarrass you publicly. Nature just humbled somebody today. Adventure parks need strict weight limits. This one could have ended badly if the line or harness failed."
