Court grants woman R1.3m claim after zip line fall pretorianews
Pretoria - Now the lodge has been ordered by the high court to pay Charline Viljoen of eMalahleni R1.3million in damages
But the owners of uBhetyan African Game Lodge said she was aware of the risks, and the fall had been as a result of her hands being wet and her letting go of the handle of the slide. Part of the course was the zip line which ran about 8m above a dam. She had no idea how deep the dam was. A marshal handed her the bar to hold onto, and she said she was not given instructions. Her hands were wet as she had just finished an obstacle which involved water.
The court found that the owners had a legal duty to ensure that the boot camp participants were safe, but that there were no trained marshals.
