Is it a bird? Plane? Superman? No, it's zip-lining!

Zip-lining

Zip-lining is one of the most thrilling adventure sports around. What started as off a travel-tool to move across rivers and lakes, has now become one of the world’s most enjoyable rides.

Ziplines are built with half-inch wide galvanised cable with a break strength in excess of 22,000lbs, which is safe enough for humans to undergo the activity. The person goes on a steady fall along the zip-line until the person reaches the destination. Depending to the angle of the line, a top of speed of 50-150 kmph can be achieved. Words aren’t enough to show the excitement of the activity, so this video will do the justice:

There are a few combinations of zip-lining and sky-diving also present. The following video will make you jump out of your seat!
