Nomad Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 No matter their age . Our two travel , oldest goes out West, hiking , Mrs. hates when folks get to close to, edges , so daughter always takes pics near them , and these are mild, couldn’t find the others . Youngest just went to Costa Rico, repelling ,surfing and other adventures . I look at pics ( I’m NYS certified intermediate level rope rescue ) ,hum a single line repell, no belay line , over sized floppy work gloves , minimal instruction, and the other thing she swings out over water , then they drop you, This is where she got the rope burns, she didn’t keep elbows back . But looking at set up, it seems there’s a remote release they pull that lets that single loop then go through the figure 8 , dropping you, that doesn’t seem safe either , what if it gets triggered by accident before in proper position? She went surfing and wiped out, the board caught a wave and pulled hard on the tether, and she said popped her knee out, she said she popped it back in and she’s fine ..... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
