THE YARD — Is there anything more exhilarating than soaring along on a zip-line? Whether you're enjoying a small zip-line in the backyard, or you're up at Deer Creek State Park taking a ride on one of the longest zip-lines in the world, it's a blast to get that semi-flying sensation.
But there's at least one zip-line you should avoid — it's in this amusing video.
I don't know what the heck is going on here. Why is there a car parked right in the path of this zip-line? And why didn't the guy on the zip-line anticipate he was going to hit the car?
Before the fateful ride, people in the video's background joke about weight limits and signing waivers. This implies it was unusual to have an adult take a ride on the zip-line. Everyone involved seemed to think it was hilarious this guy was going to taking the plunge.
But surely it must've been clear to somebody that sending a full-grown man directly into a car windshield will result in shattered glass and a bruised bottom. It's not like he grazed the car ... it was a full-on collision.
So, take a mental picture of this zip-line and be sure not to ride it in the future. There are plenty of other options out there that are much safer.
