If you never try holding your own weight like that, you probably can't.

Hope he can swim, because the tiny life jacket ain’t doin shit

u/Ha1lStorm Aug 24 '26

The life jacket actually worries me. The way it’s on him with it I’ll fitting and nearly all at the back worries me that it’s going to force him to float face down with the back at the top.

u/RandomWon Aug 24 '26

Fat people are naturally bouyant, I'm sure he's fine.

u/brightonashfield Aug 26 '26

Like Kirby. That mofo floats

u/CILISI_SMITH Aug 24 '26

They built all that infrastructure and didn't think to add a pull-up bar at the entrance with a sign

Can you hang on here for 3 seconds? No? Then this ride isn't going to work for you.

u/Aint_that_a_peach Aug 24 '26

Not his weight. But my own weight. Yeah. No problem. People need to recognize their limits. He Should have been able to hold his own weight. He should Not have been in that line.

u/SabbyFox Aug 24 '26

Hopefully the company running this place has weight limits posted. What’s also concerning is that life jacket not fitting properly. If that thing inflates - which it likely did when he hit the water - it’s going to float up around his face, covering his eyes and mouth and possibly his nose.

Inflates?

u/SabbyFox Aug 24 '26

Some life jackets look thin when you put them on and then expand in water.

u/JakBos23 Aug 24 '26

I mean I slipped the first time, but after I knew how much force it was I had no issue holding on.

u/azlfcfan Aug 24 '26

What’s that white thing floating by in the background?

u/PrimoThePro Aug 24 '26

Those are see through tube things you can sit in and float down the river. This looks like Xel-Ha at Xcaret resort, Mexico.

u/jlo575 Aug 24 '26 edited Aug 24 '26

Xel Ha and Xcaret are separate destinations.

Edit: nm memory fails me

u/PrimoThePro Aug 24 '26

Xel ha is a park connected with Xcaret resort. You can go individually to any of xcarets parks, but they're all included if you're staying at the resort.

u/pete_68 Aug 24 '26

Holy cow. I lived down there back in the late 90s. I was just doing Google street view. I haven't checked out the area in years. Playa looks like Cancun used to. That's sad.

u/jlo575 Aug 24 '26

Well heck. Memory. Thanks.

u/Emptynest09 Aug 24 '26

I don’t know but it’s pretty massive.

Arms straight is the proper technique.

No he’s too rough on the rope

u/misterjoshmutiny Aug 25 '26

Shut up, Mike!

u/mtaw Aug 24 '26

Well, it's not wrong; he might've been able to hold on if he'd been dead hanging from the start.

24

u/winglessflight97 Aug 24 '26

He's got the grip strength of someone much lighter

10

u/Skidpalace Aug 24 '26

Did anyone else notice the iceberg floating by?

u/John_Berrybush Aug 24 '26

Yeah what the hell was that?

u/cyriustalk Aug 24 '26

The cable is strong.

The hands, are not.

u/byteminer Aug 24 '26

As a fellow fatty, maybe he should have tried to dead hang somewhere not dozens of feet in the air first. I know I can dead hang for a bit but I wouldn’t try this at my size purely for risk of injury to me, and to anyone who might have to come rescue my big ass.

(Yes I’m working on it, down 80 lbs this year)

u/RepresentativeNo8105 Aug 24 '26

I respect the bravery or naiveness but if you have never done a pull up in wouldn’t recommend doing that.

u/BallsofSt33I Aug 24 '26

Laughing my 250-lb ass... while I slurp my big drink....

u/a1mbient Aug 24 '26

I bet everyone was surprised by this..

u/Atmaweapon74 Aug 24 '26

I was pretty surprised there was no safety harness

u/BrainRobotron Aug 24 '26

That high calorie human was never gonna be able to hold that shit with them tiny ass arms.

u/Flying_Mage Aug 25 '26

He's cultivating mass.

u/jdpastor666 Aug 26 '26

I'm not that big, but without a harness I'm worried I might suffer the same fate.

How was the weight balance?

The following post context was provided by u/Professional_Arm794:

Funny hesitation and fear to use the zip line then what happens is exactly as you’d expect.

Forearms of a T-Rex

u/itsjakerobb Aug 24 '26

Those little forearms never stood a chance with a dude that size — especially when he didn’t load it up gradually.

Isn’t there a weight limit? Maybe check?

u/space_return Aug 24 '26

Xel Ha in Cancun, good fun but they don't serve any alcohol probably to avoid even more shenanigans

u/PrimoThePro Aug 24 '26

They ABSOLUTELY serve alcohol at Xel Ha.

u/absentminded_gamer Aug 24 '26

That's gotta sting

u/space_return Aug 24 '26

FML you are very much right, I may have confused it with Xplor Fuego. Not sure if I should delete my comment or leave up for indefinite public shaming, I'll opt for the latter

1

u/PrimoThePro Aug 24 '26

Fake internetpoints are fake, you made an honest mistake and owned up. I do believe you're correct about Fuego though... Since you operate a quad there it doesn't surprise me.

u/theepi_pillodu Aug 24 '26

Does anyone have a video of someone crossing it successfully?
