Ever think a person could do a front flip, land on their head and not even remember what hit them ? Well I did. It all started after lunch, on a fieldtrip to Arrowhead.

Arrowhead is a huge camping ground with a lake, a park, picnic tables, and lots more. Our class was playing on the playground when I saw a zip line or some people call it a "glider." I have seen a lot of zip lines, but this one was different because it was red and it was a long metal bar with a handle. What you would do is, grab on to the handle and have some one push you. You would glide down until you get to the other side and you would either bounce back or just hold on until someone would push you back. So I decided to go play on it. Little did I know that I would regret that?

"Get on" a boy says "I can push you." I said sure. So he said to grab onto the handle and I did. He jumped off the equipment and he started to push me. I thought the zip line was going fast enough so of course I said "You can stop now." He didn't reply. I thought maybe he did not hear me. Finally he stopped pushing. The zip line was hurdling fast to the end with me still holding on. In my head I knew something bad was going to happen. Of course I was hoping for the best, but I did not get it. WAM! I hit the end hard. It felt like a dream. I probably did not notice I was letting go of the handle. BOOM! I hit the ground. Every where I heard footsteps charging towards me.

In my head, I was thinking 'I’m dead. I'm dead.' In my body, I felt scared. I was so scared, I wished no other kid should ever go through this feeling again. I had a headache so bad it felt like a million daggers were seeping through my head. I could hear myself weeping. I felt myself being picked up and I heard my friend's mom say “Do you want me to call your mom."

"Yes." I managed to spuder out. All the grown ups helped me to the bus. I asked my friend’s mom what happened she said “You did a front flip and landed on your head." My mom came and took me to the hospital. Finally I got some good luck. I only got bruised ribs. Everyone was glad to hear that.

That’s why Arrowhead is now a nightmare to me. I will never go back there, until they get rid of that zip line.
