building a zipline

in the summer me my uncle and my cousin built a large zipline 100 foot long problay supporting over 500 pound 20 foot high. this is not a exact instructions but a guide. it probably cost about 150$ not including wood for a treehouse]

(very old and crappy instructable for reference)

Step 1 Go build the tree house

the first thing to do is build a tree house or platform. we built one with a platform sliding door and a little house like thing make it around a sturdy tree. and make sure theres another about 100 feet away

[mman1506]

also there was no point of taking a picture of the harness when theres apicture of the real one and i just wanted to make a comment i like comments on my work

[mman1506]

the lag in the rope will stop you even if it semms really taught it will lag down (weve never actuall got remotely close to hitting the tree if its oly on a slight angle you can use a tir with holes in it

Any tips on ... stopping??? Just aim for a mattress?
