Betty M,...now you realize that i don't run the ziplines,nor do i make up the rules etc,...but here's "MY" honest opinion,...first off the crew are really friendly,helpful and funny,..they make you feeel like one of the gang and that you belong there.

when you first get there you sign the typical waivers etc,then they get everyone together (10 in a group),they suit everyone up in a really heavy duty nylon harness and hard hat ( needed for the ride to the zipline more than the zipline itself),.the harness is designed so that when you leave the wooden platform you are in a sitting position and all the weight is being supported by your butt and the steel cable,..in other words, if you can sit in chair "MY" opinion is that you should be able to do the zips.

give them a call and let them know that you'd like to try it but you have some limitations,.. their number is 808-889-5111 the girls are really nice and informative..but let them know up front,it's their decision.

there is a little stairs to climb up to the wooden platforms and some very light hiking but nothing too bad, i hope you get to go, there's nothing to be scared about it's just fun,.DARY
