In this instance the instructors pick you up, run you to the edge, and throw you off. Because, allegedly, many people wouldn’t jump out far enough on their own.
Imo the problem is going to a place where this is required in the first place, but it’s not the victim’s fault they trusted the people running it to attach the safety equipment properly. The people running it do ostensibly have a vested interest in not killing their clientele.
The cord probably attaches to the back of the harness, so it would have been difficult for her to see that it wasn’t attached.
Yeah I’m not going to blame the victim here either. With two people on the job both of them should have been doing safety checks. Not just “assuming the other guy did it.”
I’m too scared of equipment failure to jump and would be paranoid enough to make sure I feel the tug check of the rope.
Mind you I’ve hung 3 stories up with proper gear down a building in my blue collar work days. We had two separate safety lines and a OSHA compliance guy. Still never again.
