This is Gunstock Mountain in Gilford, New Hampshire! This particular Zipline is the Recoil Zipline, which is about 3,900 feet long and reaches speeds up to 65mph. I am currently an active Zipline guide there and the guide at the beginning of the video is a friend of mine. That brake handle is designed to only move your trolley when you pull it down. The reason this person "crashed" is because they didn't let up on the handle when they were supposed to (because they were facing backwards). The "crash" was actually just them hitting a long line of springs designed to slow them down in any case of emergency or somebody forgetting to brake. I have done this line more times than I can count and highly recommend it if you have the chance!

There's no crash. The brake system made the camera fall off.

The guy: I'm going forward... The zipline: no you going backwards

I did this in Costa Rica in the jungle during a thunderstorm pouring rain. You get moving and I could see how you can get seriously hurt if you don’t have a brake line to slow you down. Also I see he spun around which is tricky to get yourself back facing forward. Took me a few lines to understand how to turn myself around.

You do know that that’s how they stop it Right

Didn’t look too bad. In Jamaica the workers threw a brake up the line from the bottom that arrested the speed of the rider. Worked very well but was pretty abrupt. That’s probably what happened here and the camera wasn’t firmly attached.

I crashed in western mass into a tree cuz you’re supposed to spread yourself out at the end to slow down, but I like to live dangerously 😎

It sounded like R2D2 in some point

1:10 me to my brother when he snitches on me

That noise... I thought it was his mother screaming 😂

A surprising lack of screaming! Good job!

"Pull this line to slow down." "Yea its kind of just to make you feel like you are in control but it doesn't actually do anything."

Thanks for this post! By watching this video, I could feel that I was actually doing this.

I have gone ziplining 3 different times in different places. I liked it alot.

i was on such a zipline without a break. I turned myself during the ride and couldnt see where and when it ends, so i crashed backwards with my head against the tree where the line ended. I smashed my torax with my head and had to go to a hospital. a horrible accident. so watch out when you go to such a park if the constructions are safe!

Looks like Ski Apache in NM. I've rode that zipline countless times, truly incredible experience. You have to remember the brakes! Lol

Just an FYI for anyone wanting to zip line. The insurance you get before traveling does not cover injuries relating to this type of activity. Food for thought.

As you get closer to the end I think you're supposed to put your hand on the cable a little, just to slow you down.

In Victoria BC I had an accident by coming in too hot. The stopping blocks were faulty and I too was landing backwards but was spared serious injury. I like zip lining especially in a forest setting.

I love zip lining but I never had to deal with that situation ever. Also it's looks scary to be in that situation as well.

Mama just wanted 2 injoy the ride 🤣

You seemed terrified

It is rumoured that at the start of every zipline season, they send down a maintainenece Samurai dual wielding Katanas with his arms outstretched and no brakes... Heaven's Blossom Stance 👌

Despite we died, we had a great time ! We'll be back !

Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

Sounded like R2-D2 flying in the tie fighters on the way to rescue Chancellor Palpetine.

I’ve been on that situation before..it is hurt AF and my stomach hurt so bad n my head bleeding..Thank God i’m still alive

I can get a bit of a thrill by watching that, and not risk my life! (I bungee-jumped 25 years ago, in my thrill-seeking days in spite of being an acrophobic, rafted some serious Clas 5+ white-water, SCUBA dived, but I think not, on the zipline!) How can I see that same view more safely? I fly an aircraft, but I wouldn't get that close to the trees or brush! (Funny how when you put on a few years, longevity starts to look very appealing!)

Sick watch man!

The most interesting 72 seconds of my life. Thx for this vid! :-/

Coming in hot ! Geezz

Guess you didn't listen the the instructions you're supposed to use wind resistance too to help control your speed. I did it up in WhistlerBC before it became a thing and wasn't crowded kinda like that south park episode.

All he had to do was pull on the thing in front of him to get spun around. It’s connected slightly ahead of him so he could just keep force on it and stay forward. Did he have a brake? Was he told to slow down towards the end? Lol

Where is this it looks great

Damn that sucks bro. Hope u are okay

That’s a hell of a zip line

What ski resort is that?

Weird comments

Perfect landing.

Coming in HOT!

Amazing 👍

R2D2 was going nuts

Shreddin' some nar. 🤙

I don't know it if is more stupid to do a zipline staring backwards or to consider its end a crash... maybe both are

The way down sounds like squidward screaming

Damn I was getting agitated watching this and turning my head and twisting my body trying to turn around even though I have no control whatsoever. I'm yelling out "TURN AROUND TURN!!!! DAMNIT TURN AROUND!! WTF ARE YOU DOING?!"

So many questions!

Did not expect that ending

I especially enjoyed the part that went.... RRRRRReeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

😱waoh you are so brave

What I'm wondering a lot more is... where the hell is the second rider on the right going to?? Because they starting at the same time or not???

Coming in hot ! Gezz

zip lines are too scary even when you dont crash ;w;

Scuba Scoops is that gun stock with lake Winnipesaukee in the background

Sick gnargnar, shaka bruh

I thought momma must have been the one that crashed because she disappeared!

Looks like fun

esperamdo uma explicação br

I want you to scream "Zipline!!!"

Nice watch bro

"Go Mama, Go!" 😁

Zip lines and water slides. Two things I’m terrified to do.

Awesome

Is that gunstock mt in New Hampshire?

Can someone explain? Did his brakes not work or was he just being stupid?

Looks like fun.

I'd think a rubber coating maybe on the lower part of the cable could help slow down to begin with?

WHO'S READY TO FLY ON THE ZIPLINE ? I AM

Sounds like Abrams Tank start up.

Where was the crash?

Camano Island?

I recommend you look more forward next time when you travel.

Zakabrah!

There's no fuking way Im getting on some sketchy ass third world country implementation of an over the top thrill ride. Plus, this is how Toby broke his neck... "it's nice to have visitors"

I've never been on one of these things... did you crash cause you didn't see the stop coming up? Did you turn backwards on purpose?

That is one long ass sip line.

i hate it when you're going at high speeds about to hit the flat form and you're too low so it jabs your shins and the breaks are off.

In Puerto vallarta we had leather gloves to slow down

Is this Gunstock?

Does anyone know where this was, it reminds me of stowe vt

Do ya hear that high whining sound? That's mechanical energy being converted into heat. Lots of heat.

I was there today

Give him a brake. Nothing happened. Seriously though he needs a brake.

Superrrrr

0:14 Is that a plane Turbine like seriously it sounds like one

Imagine if that line snapped.

At first I thought that screaming was coming from momma. 0:14

Why does it seem that you always end up going backwards on a long Zip. I did. I got myself turned around again, but it was annoying at first. 😂

did his mom just disappear?

Well what happened to mama? Did she go?

Shaka Brah!

Hell no! I’m smart enough to say no!

i hope his beautiful watch was ok......

I should've never gone ziplining

Oh I see ,the red wrist band is to identify the mangled body headed straight for the E.R. well they died doing what I assume was on their bucket list ,I hope they were alright .

Did he die ?

R.I.P. line!

Why would you go backwards so you could not easily see when to brake properly ?

Hopefully that man is okay😂

Shaka brah!
