12 Year Old Girl From Nagpur, Critically Injured After Zipline Harness Fails Mid-Air In Manali | Watch Video

Nagpur: A family summer vacation in the hills of Manali turned into a nightmare after a 12-year-old girl from Nagpur, Maharashtra, fell nearly 30 feet into a gorge during a zipline ride when her safety harness snapped mid-air. The incident has sparked serious concerns over the lack of safety protocols at adventure tourism sites.

The victim, identified as Trisha Bijwe, was enjoying a zipline activity on June 8 while vacationing with her parents, Prafull and Mrs. Bijwe, when disaster struck. The cable securing her harness reportedly tore mid-ride, causing her to plummet into a rocky gorge below. A shocking video of the incident, now circulating widely on social media, captures the exact moment the harness gave way.

Trisha sustained multiple fractures, particularly in her leg, and was initially treated at a local hospital in Manali. Due to the severity of her injuries, she was later transferred to a facility in Chandigarh, and is now being treated at a private hospital in Nagpur. According to her father, her condition remains critical but stable.

Speaking to reporters, Trisha’s family alleged that the zipline facility lacked basic safety checks and failed to respond promptly after the fall. “There was no trained medical team, no proper harness inspection, and no accountability,” said her father. “We had to arrange emergency help ourselves.”

The family is now demanding strict action against the operators of the zipline facility and urging the government to enforce stringent safety standards across all adventure sports providers in the region.

The terrifying accident has ignited public outrage and renewed calls for regulation of adventure tourism in Himachal Pradesh. Experts say that while such activities have become increasingly popular, oversight and safety enforcement remain dangerously lax.
