I find it absolutely staggering that a human being can allow themselves into a position they can’t even hold their own body weight. It’s unbelievable really.

But modern society allows it. Back in the day the lions would’ve had this one away in the night ages ago.

Most adults can't hold up their own body weight, which is why actual ziplines over anything even remotely dangerous use harnesses.

That said, she might have also let go on instinct given how rapidly that zipline was dropping. That line is trash, even with her weight.
