A tourist from Canada fell from a zip line, similar to this one, which snapped in Thailand (file picture). A tourist from Canada has been killed after a zip line snapped in Thailand, according to authorities. The 5km course consists of a combination of zip lines - including one said to be the longest in Asia at 800 metres - and swaying bridges. Thai authorities are investigating any potential negligence on the part of the operators, and other issues such as whether the weight limit was exceeded. Flight of the Gibbon was temporarily shut in 2016 after three Israeli tourists collided with each other and fell to the ground, suffering non-fatal injuries, the BBC reported.
