When I watch this video, the scary part to me is not the possibility of falling. I fear that I’d feel compelled to try to grab the cable and completely destroy my hands.
45 u/Duel_Option Mar 04 '25 The scary part is if it gets stuck, then you have to unclip the lock and swing around backwards, lock it, then pull yourself the rest of the way. Ask me how I know lol 17 u/[deleted] Mar 04 '25 [deleted] 12 u/Duel_Option Mar 04 '25 Honestly; the angle on it is fine. I got stuck in Puerto Rico, they had let out some slack on a line due to a storm coming in and told me that I had two options: cross on the line and flip myself around at the mid point walk back through the rain forest on foot for 6+ hours We had a big group so I had a bit of time to practice releasing and turning on a practice rig, I felt confident. Definitely were told to keep your hands down at all times though, that line is dangerous lol 3 u/SlickSpam420 Mar 04 '25 I'd just freeze if I ever had to do that.
