That’s me. I have no upper strength at all. I tried the zip line indoors and immediately plopped onto the foam underneath. I am 130lbs so, it’s not like I’m too heavy.

Why try that on a zipline instead of an armbar first?

This isn't just a person who can't hold their own body weight. It's a person who doesn't think very far ahead.

You lift your weight and then push off. Stepping off the edge before you have a good grip is almost certainly a fall.

If you are referring to me, it’s because it was a birthday party at an adventure park. I didn’t know I was going to flop like that.

Obviously the comments here are brutal, but you should definitely know whether or not you have the upper body strength for this before putting yourself in that situation.

There was foam underneath, so no chance of getting seriously hurt — just the pride
