Describe your reaction to the video. Have you ever done anything a little too "adventurous" that could have resulted in something this tragic? If you were Aimee, would you even want to live after contracting a flesh eating disease? Why or why not?

I'm shocked that this happened. People go zip-lining all the time and nothing like this happens. I've never done anything that could have resulted in something like this. Even though Aimee is going through something tragic, I would still want to live if I was in her situation. It's going to be a difficult recovery for her and she may have a lot of prosthetics but I think she will appreciate life better.

I think it's a terrible accident and it makes me even more against zip-lining. I think it looks fun but I'm definitely not a heights person. I don't think I would want to live with a flesh eating disease or with amputated limbs. However, I also wouldn't zip-line on a homemade line. I've done a lot of things that could've ended badly but I figure that I might as well do fun things regardless because we're all eventually going to die of something. I might as well go out doing something fun.

I was Shocked That you can go to having fun to be fighting for your life. No Ive never done something to adventurous. Yes I would want to live after having a flesh eating disease. Your still alive even though you may not be able to everything you once did.

That's pretty shocking to me. I'm surprised that could ever happen. It's a good thing she is still alive but I still can't believe it. I hope she gets better. It's crazy they had to amputate her leg. If I were Anne I would have a hard time living after this incident.

If feel so bad for Aimee. I wouldn't wish anyone would contract a flesh eating disease.I haven't done anything that could have resulted in something this tragic. Since I don't know how it feels, I can't say whether or not I'd want to live after contracting a flesh eating disease. I think it would be hard for anyone to say whether they would want to live or not.

I'm shocked that something like that would happen to her. Being that the bacteria is rare, it disturbs me that she got it. I probably have done something that almost resulted in something tragic, because I remember exactly how I felt and what was running through my mind. I probably would'nt want to live after that, because I would be dealing with it for the rest of my life. I'd be very upset, however I would have strong faith in God, that he would get me through it.

This video is very shocking and scary to me. I would love to go zip lining but this does make you think a little more about any adventurous activity. I have done a few things that could have ended badly and I just feel like God was with me and nothing bad happened. I don't know how I would feel if I was her. She isn't all the way aware of everything happened and she is now faced with life long recovery. It has also impaired her looks for the rest of her life and or a young girl that is a lot.

It is really sad how something can happen to someone when they are just trying to have fun. The only thing that I could think of that was a little too adventurous was climbing a tree at a younger age.One part of me would want to live after contracting a flesh eating disease and the other wouldn't. I guess it's because I know that I wouldn't be able to the same fun things as before. Other than that I won't claim that it will happen.

I think this is terrible. Accidents happen though. I think what happened to her is horrible. It's crazy how something that was suppose to be fun turned out so bad. I don't think I have ever done something that could result in serious injuries. It would be very hard to go throughout my whole life then to lose my leg and fingers. Her life is definitely going to change after this.

This is such an unfortunate situation, and I hope that Aimee continues to recover. I don’t think that I have ever done anything that would result in this disease, but I will be more observant now of what activities I choose to do. I would most likely experience some form of depression and sadness, but I would absolutely still want to live. I believe that as long as a person is still breathing, despite his challenges, God still has a purpose for his life. If I were in Aimee’s position, I would recognize that I was alive for a reason.
