DALLAS (AP) — A bungee ride in Dallas apparently arranged by a woman to help her future husband face his fear of heights turned into a three-hour ordeal 50 feet up when the cables got tangled.
Dallas firefighters used an aerial ladder truck Monday night to rescue William Mancera and Thalia Rodriguez of Irving.
Dallas Fire-Rescue Lt. Joel Lavender said Tuesday that neither was injured.
Lavender says the couple, who plan to marry next year, seemed in good spirits after the incident and mentioned that Mancera has a fear of heights. Lavender says the ride was meant to be kind of a fun thing, as "a gift on her part, a challenge on his part."
Mancera and Rodriguez could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday. Neither has publicly listed phone numbers.
