World's fastest zipline?


I've been to Sun City in South Africa several times, but that was before I moved to the USA. This little toy is something new since I was last there.







I hope it's not too close to the rhinoceros reserve. It might be . . . er . . . awkward to make a low-level high-speed pass over an annoyed rhino!

    If by "awkward" you mean "painful, dangerous and/or deadly", then yeah.

    Still, it looks like fun. :)

    It's almost as if they are trying to test out the phrase "Africa Wins Again." But it does look like fun.

    The fascinating thing is that the occupant is probably going fast enough to derive some benefit from those slightly awkward-looking control surfaces.
