I had one of these as a kid.

No kidding. I figured she was out cold when the bull left her alone. I'm guessing this guy is a relative of hers.
I almost didn't make it to the end due to the extended theatrics. I almost wish I didn't. LOL
No kidding. Darwin needs help, he's been slacking.

What kind of cheesy azz zipline is that? Something that someone installed but no one really owns or maintains? I've done zipline activities a couple of times. They are always maintained (no way for a stray cable to be hanging out in the middle, but (in my eyes) more importantly, there's always a pulley (not just a carabiner rubbing against a cable :eek:) and double lines with a pulley on each.

And the fact that the dude kept putting his hand near the cable out in front of himself seemed CRAZY. That seems like a good way to lose a hand!

The only (crappy) reason that I can see for that video is - there was a known issue (the tangled cable) and the carabiner was used because it was slower than a pulley (don't want too much speed if you know there's an obstruction), and he's the maintenance staff that had to fix the problem.

Still, not just no, but hell no.

Here's one that's also messed up.

^^^
I took it that his carabiner wore through part of the cable and it unraveled ahead of him?
And then it finally made a clump that stopped him.

It looked like he knew to not get his hand too close, but he wanted to grab part of it to stop and feed it through. I don't know, but I wish I knew how it ended.

Yeah, a bunch of that looked pretty hokey to me. Drilling a hole in a box-end and then adding a set screw to it? That's only going to work if the stuff isn't very tight to begin with.

looks like he was sitting on a wooden board (like a playground swing) suspended from the carabiner. Very, very hokey setup.

Here's the full video.

Wow....I was ready to say "he should have brought a parachute"...when he did.
The short didn't even show the second guy/girl?.

Our cats are always bringing garter snakes and milk snakes up from the woods. They leave them on the porch step like some kind of gift. The snakes play dead so the cats won't play with them. When the cats lose interest and go away, the snakes slither off.
