Mexico doesn't use the heavy gloves. They go thru them to fast. So they came up with a brakeline. About 20 feet from the end they have a d ring on a rope that runs thru a pulley system. When your carriage hits the line they slip it thru there hands and pulleys to stop you. Works good.... if the guy is paying attention. Bummer was this was zipline number 3. Had 9 more to go to get down off mountain. _________________ Cleverly disguised as an adult... www.naishkites.com Nak Since 19 May 2005 4304 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Wed Oct 27, 10 3:32 pm     Holy shit! Glad you're OK! kenja Since 19 Jun 2008 179 Posts Stoked Wed Oct 27, 10 4:56 pm     You're lucky he decided to grab you instead of diving out of the way. You can see the split second decision he had to make when he realized you were bearing down on him. An incompetent dweeb and a hero all wrapped into one person. It's definitely better to have a guy breaking your fall than a tree. I'm glad you managed to walk away from that. dustin awesome Since 23 Jul 2009 115 Posts Stoked Wed Oct 27, 10 6:40 pm     like nak said...... holy shit! the ability we have to video crazy shit, is awesome.
