I decided my husband and I should do the zip line experience, being a senior citizen wasnt going to put me off. My husband was not at all keen, but I was rearing to go.
The welcome was warm and informative, the gear suitable , although my gloves had several holes in them, not good on a zip line where friction burns could be very painful.
Guides was really good fun and encouraged everyone in the group to participate in loud screaming etc., It came my turn and after the lst station I really did not enjoy at all. Unfortunately, there is no way down and you have to complete the l0-stations each one getting longer and faster. I panicked on number six and had to tandum with our guide, who shouted lift your feet coming in to land, but unfortunately, panic was in control and I hit my ankle against the landing station. Very painful, but had to finish the course assisted. No real first aid applied, sprayed with deep heat, but no support bandages etc., Do think facility could have done better. Eventually found I had broken my tipula. However, my husband thoroughly enjoyed the experience, this one was just not for me. Perhaps a little bit more first aid knowledge would have been helpful and an emergency escape route should the need arise.
