HILO, Hawaii?? A Hilo-based eco-tourism company says it has suspended booking zip line tours until the cause of a fatal accident is fully understood.
Ted Callaway of Lahaina and a co-worker were in the process of testing a zip line north of Hilo last month when a tower collapsed and Callaway plunged 200 feet to his death. His co-worker Curtis Wright, of Miamisburg, Ohio, was critically injured.
The course has been closed since the incident. KapohoKine Adventures said Monday it halted booking all zip line tours pending a full evaluation of soil composition and structural integrity of the lines.
The Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health division is conducting a workplace death investigation.
