Here is Bron, coming in for a landing on one of the platforms. She showed almost perfect style and followed the safety precautions precisely.

In fact, I was probably the worst for following the rules because I got carried away with the speed of the ride and would forget to 'break' in a timely fashion and had to be 'blocked' from smooshing into the tree trunk a couple of times. I was too pumped on the 'flying' experience to watch the guide who was signaling me to brake or die.

As you can see, our ride went both over the trees, and in several places, right through them so when you weren't staring terrified at the guide, you actually had a great look around.

In one place, the cable was resting against a huge horizontal bough of a tree, but of course when you were 'zipping' along the cable swayed down with your weight and you were well under the limb.

The heavy gloves had about 3/8" thick leather liners for gripping the wire to act as your braking system. I was the problem child, as the heavier you are, the more momentum you develop and the harder you must break; and with my loss of focus due to excitement, you can see the picture....
