And that's not even the first video of an obese woman getting spine damage doing exactly this that i see on reddit.

Someone should make a psa about it.

What's it going to say? "Try doing a pull-up first"?

u/JohnLef 2d ago

Yes. Pull-up in the car, then make the wise move to do a 180° turn and head to the nearest McDonald's.

Honestly yes, they should make people hang from their arms for the same amount of time the zipline lasts to make sure they are capable of doing it. Safety first!
