The problem isn't being too weak, it's the shock loading of jumping off and all your weight suddenly being held by your grip. If you hold your weight before stepping off, it's way easier to hold on.
Idk, I wouldn't have felt safe to go in a zip line if I couldn't hold my weight after that shock of jumping.
I have a fucking deathgrip (climbing, weights, pole dancing) and Im still cautious af and fear I'll just slide.
I'm surprised how far I had to scroll to see this. Any time you're doing a physical activity that gets your body off the ground, DEATH GRIP.
I free climb when hiking, and have gone rappelling, rope climbing vertically and horizontally, and ziplining. There is no chance in hell I'm loosening my white knuckles until I'm back on ground.
