Yes, folks use the zipline all the time. There are approx. 4 lines hanging from the zip cable, these lines are used to moor your boat while your crew enjoys the rope swing. I question the integrity of the rope swing itself; so many people use it, it seems feasible to engineer a safer setup than some old rope, pieced together tied to a handle that pivots from side to side. I am offering up my thoughts; an old single ski handle, shackled to a length of 3/4 inch, braided anchor line, wrapped at least twice around the tree branch, and secured with a braided splice. I would estimate a 50.00 investment w/ a single handle ski rope donated.
