The
rappel
system
is
very
unsafe.
La
sistema
del
segundo
rappel
está
muy
peligroso.
Today
I
went
to
do
a
zip
line
canopy
tour,
and
had
a
great
time,
but
observed
some
very
unsafe
practices
while
rappelling.
The
final
rappel
is
a
system
that
needs
to
be
changed,
or
someone
WILL
get
hurt.
I
talked
to
the
guide
after
the
tour,
and
was
told
that
they
know
the
system
is
unsafe
and
needs
to
be
changed,
but
apparently
the
decision
hinges
on
the
boss.
I
will
be
happy
to
remove
this
post
when
and
if
the
system
is
changed
Hable
con
una
guilla,
y
me
dijo
que,
saben
que
la
sistema
no
está
seguro,
pero
no
pueden
cambiarlo,
sin
la
palabra
del
dueńo.
I
am
no
expert
on
zip
line
systems,
but
I
am
a
rock
climber,
and
do
know
about
making
a
safe
rappel
system.
The
last
rappel,
(named
the
leap
of
faith
by
one
guide)
was
a
system
that
in
a
perfect
world
is
safe,
but
if
anything
happens
to
the
belayer
it
would
most
likely
leave
someone
with
at
least
broken
bones.
The
belayer
is
attached
to
a
figure
8
secured
above
the
rappeller,
and
the
other
side
of
the
rope
is
in
the
hand
of
the
belayer
who
stands
next
to
the
rappeller.
The
rope
is
not
attached
to
the
belayer
in
any
way.
The
client
is
slowed
by
the
belayer
maintaining
the
angle,
and
friction
of
the
rope
through
the
figure
8.
If
the
belayer
lets
go,
the
client
would
be
in
free
fall.
If
the
belayer
is
bumped,
stung,
scarred,
or
even
distracted,
they
could
easily
let
go
of
the
rope.
If
the
client
steps
off
the
edge
before
the
belayer
is
ready
than
the
they
would
fall
some
20
odd
feet.
It
is
not
hard
to
imagine
a
scenario
when
this
would
happen.
The
first
of
two
repels
left
me
somewhat
weary,
as
the
redundancy
didn’t
seem
exactly
“bomber”.
I
originally
questioned
it
but
moved
on
as
I
thought
“these
are
professionals,
they
know
what
they
are
doing”,
but
I
am
starting
the
question
the
safety
of
this
first
system
as
well.
If
anyone
with
some
knowledge
sees
it,
and
wants
to
let
me
know
what
they
think,
I’d
love
to
hear
it.
Apart
from
the
experience
with
the
rappel
system,
I
had
a
great
time.
The
guides
were
super,
and
the
location
is
wonderful.
Please
fix
this!!
Thanks
