Carolina Point Camp, located near the North Carolina border, contains numerous zip lines and ropes courses that are owned and operated by the Young Life organization. The rope swing Grimes fell from sends three people at a time zipping across to nearby tree tops.

“We do not know how this occurred. At the moment our focus is on those grieving over this tragic accident,” said a statement released by the camp.

All rides were shut down after Grimes’ death so Young Life could inspect its equipment. Carolina Point and Young life “are cooperating with law enforcement,” New York Daily News reports.
