5.0 out of 5 stars zipping fun needs lots of setup, July 29, 2000

Attaching the cable is alot more work than explained in the directions. If there are not two trees spaced the needed distance, a very sturdy post and support must be built. The "drop" needed for a good ride is also more than the instructions called for. One end of our line had to be 15 feet off the ground with the other end at 5 feet in order to ride even 50 feet without "stalling out" in the middle. The end secured to a tree is slowly killing the tree since it had to be secured so tight.

We have this mounted between a tree and our boat dock on about 150' of cable (I did not use the 70' piece that comes with it). I have 4 kids, ages 8, 10, 13, & 14. Whenever friends come over they are always playing on this, sliding out over the water to our boat dock. It has had countless hours of use and abuse for 2 years. I'm only replacing it to help guarantee its safety (not disintegrating enroute). It still works ok, but is getting a bit "ratty", and occasionally sticks on the cable because it is worn between the sides and the pulleys; giving room for the cable to "skip the track". Highly recommended, but be safe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Snapped Screw on Zip Line!, June 20, 2002

We've enjoyed this product for a year, but yesterday a visiting friend had an accident caused by this "Fun" Ride. The end peice shown, an oval with two screws, that you use to tighten the line, snapped when a trim 7 year old boy was on it. This should have held a grown man! We got the deluxe, just to be on the safe side with weight of users. He got a deep cut on top of his head, a bruise, and obviously a scare. This is not how I like to spend our playdates, and his father had to leave work. My husband put this toy together, he is a skilled craftsman, it wasn't put together incorrectly. I have yet to inform the company of this accident at our home, (that is why I logged on today, to get their info) but I hope that they address the problem. Good luck, and be careful.
