Lisa Lambe of Hilton Head, South Carolina, was on her last of the five spans of the zip line when the incident happened, Director of Mountain Operations Czar Johnson said.
The Utah County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, Lambe “sustained serious internal injuries while riding the zip line. Exactly how she sustained those injuries is still not completely clear.”
Lambe was found unconscious and not breathing, suspended from her harness and brought to the ground to be treated.
She was later pronounced dead at a Provo hospital.
Sundance Mountain Resort issued this statement over the weekend:
