So, You Want To Crap Your Pants Eh. Then This Might Be Just For You Then [Video]
People do crazy things all in the name of having some fun but I don’t care how you slice it this mile long zipline ride in Nepal is more than a little insane, regardless of how much fun you might want to have.
Called the ZipFlyer it has a vertical drop of 2,000 feet and can get speeds up to 87mph over its 6,000 foot length.
In other words you can go fast enough to feel your face ripping off while you are praying that the line won’t break because if it does there probably wouldn’t be enough left of you splattered on the ground and in the trees to make a decent meal for the Nepalese tiger that is just waiting for Murphy’s Law to kick in.
There’s something to be said for living vicariously through other people’s stupidity though so I’ll leave you with this video of some *cough* brave *cough* soul tempting fate.
