Footage doing the rounds on social media shows the little guy zipping along with his father before suddenly dropping. Very lucky for the boy, the zipline runs over a lake, and he survived the fall into the water as onlookers rushed to his aid.
A tour operator in Nepal calling itself ‘ZipFlyer’ claims to run the world’s fastest zip-line, a 1.8km line that drops 600m, attaining speeds of 160 kmph. Honestly I’m not sure what kind of speeds zip-lines are supposed to be clocking so those numbers don’t mean much, but the helmetcamera bits in the video look insane. Have a look.
