I like watching, it looks so exhilarating, but too old and fragile for the doing.

I was born with a bad back which just got tons worse after a couple of car accidents, so it's been a hindrance & a pain for a very long time. Ziplining is fun and safe and doesn't kill my back! Win/win.

So it's not for everyone, but it doesn't jerk you around so it's safer and gliding is just pure joy.
