A friend's daughter was in Thailand back about 8 years ago for her honeymoon. She and her husband were at a zip line place. He didn't want to do it, but she kidded him about being scared, etc. and so he did. His equipment failed at a pretty significant height and he was killed. An investigation found they were basically using cheap amazon.com sourced D-rings and carabiners and other fasteners that were in no way appropriate for the application. The kid of carabiners you get at the gas station that at best can be used to carry your keys around. That was a good lesson in never doing this adventure type stuff in 3rd world places.
