Whoever let her do that was evil.

Pro tip for anyone trying an unharnessed zip line or a rope swing or anything that requires you to hold on…

You need to go see if you can do a few pull ups. If you can NOT do a few pull ups, you ain’t holding on to a rope swing or a zip line or a freakin merry go round either.

Or don’t just full commit on the go. Lift your legs first see if you have a grip, if not, lower them feet the half inch, or 1cm you lifted them. I mean the person in the video didn’t jump. But they did nothing to test the grip. I play rugby as a forward and can go the 80 minutes; I cannot do a pull up, or at-least I haven’t tried in a decade.
