A zipline adventure flips that script completely. One minute you're standing on solid ground, the next you're zooming through the air at 60 mph. The adrenaline rush hits you immediately.

You may feel as if you're falling, but you're actually gliding in a controlled manner.

Gravity is essentially what is bringing you down the zipline.

When you step off the platform and start your descent, gravity pulls you downwards, converting energy (the energy stored in your position above the ground) into kinetic energy (the energy of motion)

Backyard zip line kits sold online and in stores also have been linked to injuries.

*** What is the best angle for a zipline?
