Schiller had been attempting to rescue a 10-year-old boy who had gotten stuck on a zip line when another zip liner hit them at 30 mph.
"I basically grabbed his harness while we're both still attached to the line and then rotated my body so that I took the impact and the little boy didn't," Schiller recalled. "My memory picks up in the hospital, I was treated for a mild concussion, loss of consciousness, a sprained wrist as well. And pain in my lower left leg."J Cesar Sauceda/TMX via Reuters"Some of the worst injuries, they can happen at speed," Adamson said.
