Would you have done the same thing if you were in his situation?


34 y/o Joaquin Romero, an employee at an LA Jolla Zip Zoom Zipline in California SACRIFICED his own life to save a WOMAN on a zipline after fearing they'd both fall under their weight after she became trapped!!

It happened when a woman slid out of the line while he was helping her get hooked onto the platform as he grabbed onto her harness to stop her and got dragged away from the platform

The pair dangled about 100 feet above the ground as the unnamed friend said the 34 y/o feared he and the woman would fall to their deaths from the extra weight so he let go to save her

The zipline can hold up to 250lbs with a minimum of 65 pounds

He dropped 100 feet and suffered major trauma injuries as Cal Fire rescued him by low angle rope system to pull out of the roadside

He was then airlifted to Sharp Memorial where he died yesterday.

The woman was uninjured and was saved....

The company said they were heartbroken over the loss of an employee and are conducting an in depth and comprehensive investigation into what happened

Romero's brother, Rick and his wife Rhonda's co workers are hosting a grab and go fish taco fundraiser to help the family

Would you have done the same if you were in that situation?
