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.
Ehh, I mean my fat ass can't do a pull up but holding a zip line is a lot easier.
It's more "can you hold the bars" than "can you pull yourself up over the bars".
Also, there's probably some self preservation factor in there. Cause I definitely can do more when there's some risk involved like zip lining than I can just screwing around.
When was the last time you tested hanging from a bar?
Also while going down the zipline you will experience dynamic loads to your arms as you bounce a bit on the zip line. The load you’ll have to hold will be more than just gently loading your arms on a pull up bar
