I used to zipline off a 30 ft cliff in the woods as a kid it was nothing but a rope and a straight bar on a pulley you hang from. No harness or anything. Learn to hold on
I still do this as an adult
Homemade zip line starts in the trees and goes over a driveway and you fall into a homemade pond.
Takeoff area is the only spot where ground is anywhere near close.

this is one of those risk far outweighs that reward imo.

Prosecutors are calling it 20 feet
The state investigators are calling it 15-16 feet, that likely takes into account the height of the hanging kid. It’s

The report states the child’s leg straps were not buckled, leaving him holding on with his arms until he lost his grip
Kid needs to work on his grip strength.

So you’re arguing 4.25 ft instead of 4?

I hate myself for laughing at that video
You should. I have a morbid sense of humor and will laugh at all kinds of things. But.... What is funny about a 10yr old kid sustaining life threatening injury?

Not in the least. But it was disingenuous as hell when the woman got on TV and said she is only suing in order to protect other kids.

Damn workers just took off to another room.

I am just pointing out how long it takes a 5’9” guy to fall while hanging from 10ft, compared to how long it takes this 5’0” kid to fall while hanging

Often I hear people say, especially when someone dies “what’s the point, it won’t bring them back...”
Well, here is a personal story. My uncle died while a teenager. Drove his car under a cane truck on a foggy day. The truck was broke down and had no lights. My grandparents didn’t sue.
Company did nothing to add lights to their trucks, and one of their good friends kids died the same way not longer after. Suing, while it gets a bad name, does help keep checks and balances

"10 years old and he's bigger than all the staff working there. Do his parents feed him nothing but Crisco?"

Friction is your friend. Without friction, none of us would be here.
