From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jim Scarborough rides a zip-line in Costa Rica over rainforest treetops near Arenal Volcano on March 15, 2002. Seven platforms in trees or on the ground provide successively lower landing points on this course, and the steel cable is not taught. The rider reduces speed by shifting his weight from the pulley to a leather glove in his right hand. Because of the sag in the cable, if the rider slows too much in between stations, he must pull himself along hand-over-hand to get up to the lower platform.
