A Massanutten Resort employee was injured April 7 when he plummeted over 40 feet to the ground from the resort's zip-line attraction, resort officials say. The fall occurred just before 5 p.m. Kenny Hess, director of sports and risk management at the resort, reported the following Monday that the injuries sustained by the employee were not life threatening. He declined to identify the man, who was treated Sunday and then released from the University of Virginia Medical Center. Hess said that the man had been employed since January as a zip-line attendant.
