A sad event happened at Rajgad Water Park in Pune when 28-year-old Taral Arun Atapalkar died while doing ziplining on April 18, 2025. She fell from a height of 30 feet when she tried to use an iron stool to reach the hook point, but the stool slipped, and she fell down.
The police are now checking how this accident happened. They’re looking at all the safety equipment, like ropes and hooks, to see if they were working properly. They also want to know if the water park staff were trained well enough to handle such activities.
The police have written this as an accident case and are doing a big investigation. They’re checking everything from the ziplining equipment to how the staff members were watching over people doing the activity.
This accident happened during summer holidays when many people visit water parks. Records show that water parks get three times more visitors during vacation time, which means safety becomes even more important during these busy days.
Ziplining is an activity where people slide down on a steel rope from a high place. It needs proper safety rules and good equipment to be safe. The staff must also check all the equipment regularly and tell visitors how to do it safely.
After this accident, the local officials are talking about making safety rules stronger. They want to check water parks more often and make sure the staff is better trained. This may lead to new safety rules for all water parks in Pune and nearby areas.
The incident has prompted authorities to evaluate Pune’s transportation infrastructure as part of a broader public safety review.
