A woman has revealed the moment she made a lucky escape after zip-lining over an alligator.
Madison Jenkins had planned an adventurous day at an aquatic swamp zip line, looking forward to flying over the forest and swamps with a birds-eye view of the ducks, deer and other wildlife below.
The trip she was most looking forward to on her visit to Zip Nola, in New Orleans, US, was the flight across the risky alligator swamp, as reported by Need To Know.

But Madison got more than she’d bargained for.
In a video shared to TikTok (@maddyjeezy ) she can be seen strapped on to the zip line, wearing a helmet and bright pink leggings, as she slowly glides over the swamp.
At the end, as she reaches a wooden platform, a worker steps up to help her get her balance and undo the wire.
However, as they look back a gator had made its way out of the swamp, and had its nose on the platform checking out Madison from not too-big-a distance away.
She screams and stumbles back, before someone helps her out the harness.
The video was reposted and captioned: “Curious gator,” gathering over 992,000 views, 207,000 likes and thousands of comments from users.
