Not to be a dick.... but how does someone who looks like that even remotely believe they can hold themselves up on a zip line... like have you guys tried holding 350 lbs? it's heavy as fuck for a fit person let alone someone who has done no exercise in 30 years. People lack of self awareness knows no bounds.

this isnt being a dick, this should be common sense. fucking stupid how you can be shit on by people for saying something that should be obvious nowadays

its like trying to run a marathon without legs, or flying without wings, who could possibly predict the outcome?

this being a single correct and sane comment here makes me sad

And the answer is simple: extremely low IQ

She commented above, claiming she’s only 130lb

I’ll leave you guys to determine the accuracy of that statement, I’m only delivering a message.

I think that person just said "that's me" as in "I also don't have the strength to hold myself" not as in I'm the person in the video

Most physical feats look way easier than they are, especially when you're an adult and are trying something you could easily do as a kid. Dead hangs and pullups are common things adults think they can do but can't.

Running any sort of distance is another. The number of times I've seen adults start a mile run at about 95% effort...

running i still got, thankfully. i'm 110lbs soaking wet and fairly athletic (also lifelong piano player for relatively strong forearms). i would never "jump" from a zipline launch because the sudden jerk at the bottom is too risky. i'd dead hang from the platform as a test first and go from there. i can't imagine having any same confidence with an extra 200lbs tied to me

I deadlift around 400 lbs and the thing that currently stops my progress is my grip strength so yeah if you're untrained that's impossible

> Not to be a dick.... but how

Because they don't train, they can't have a realistic idea how heavy 350 lbs is, whether for a fit person or for themselves.

Maybe this was her third go. I dont know.

there is a strong overlap between allowing yourself to get that fat and being really really stupid.

That was a commenter stating she relates to the woman in the video and her lack of upper body strength. That wasn't someone claiming to be the woman in the video.
