@Zero Cool As explained in the video, if someone intentionally does something stupid such as slip out of a restraint on a rollercoaster, stands up, and gets killed, that's not the ride makers responsibility. In such a case it's absolutely the persons fault not the builders.
@Zero Cool They are talking about 2:37 to 3:00 of the video. It is the job of the manufacturer to protect against "forseeable misuse", which includes some situations in which people intentionally do things that they aren't supposed to do, such as taking their phone out while on the ride. Edit: Both sides have a point. It isn't true that their job is purely to make sure Darwin awards aren't handed out too easily, they also need to make the ride safe in and of itself. On the other hand, it is true that a part of their job is to make sure Darwin awards aren't handed out TOO easily, but people could still be eligible for a Darwin award if they tried.
Now, I've never once wondered "Can a zipline go around corners?" but now I'm rather happy to say that I know the answer to that question, and I've learned that there are people with the job position that basically equates to "Darwin Award Prevention Expert" and I feel that my life is now complete...

There used to be a cartoon when I was younger where a team of heroes could create these plasma/laser zip lines from anywhere to anywhere and travel on it.
This channel is one of the few things I can put on at any point in my day and feel a bit better afterwards. Just pure information delivered in the most lighthearted manner possible: by the gentle soul that is Tom Scott.
Imagine a zip-line around buildings that can be used as an evacuation zip-lines from a fire in a very tall skyscreapers or from one skyscreaper to the another lower building in height.
As an East Tennesseean, I am very excited to hear it is coming to Pigeon Forge! You made just that small bit look quite fun, can’t wait to try it for myself!
Can confirm, used to work for a US based company that licenses this exact technology for traditional zipline braking, climbing auto-belays and free fall devices. Lots of fun (mostly safe) human testing as an intern in college.
*+batt3ryac1d* AJ Hackett bungee. The guy's a blowhard but there's no denying the impact he's had on the world of adventure. Then there's the "fly by wire" ride in Queenstown. Awesome.
To anyone wondering - the selfie stick is always there, but it’s built in such a way that on the recording you don’t see it. It’s basically the same as how you don’t see your nose even tho it’s partially blocking your view.
You should visit Rocky Mountain Construction and check out what they do. It truly is some innovative engineering that we have seen in the last 10 years.
It's actually State or local government entities that inspect permanent based theme park rides in the US, not insurance companies. 44 of the 50 states handle these inspections at state level. Every ride is inspected annually during a set time frame or when the park is about to open if it has an off season due to weather. There are also a pile of federal laws that must be adhered to. Most states have a specific department/division who handles this. The insurance companies also do inspections, since it would be their loss in the event of an accident.
Tom your camera got SUCH a good angle on that! I wish we could've found out about ALL the things they're breaking there. I didn't understand what was going on for a lot of those experiments.
Andy Sarratt the Engineer is Australian? YAY! Great to see Aussies at the forefront of innovation! Keep up the awesome work Homes Solutions team and as always keep up the amazing videos Mr Scott!
And during most of this, I was more fascinated with how the camera displayed your selfie stick. It looked different than I've seen before and how I expected it to look as the stick goes outside the focal range of the lens... Oh the zip line is neat as well 😁
Since it's in Pigeon Forge, my guess is that the zipline will be at Dollywood. That town has to be one of the craziest tourist traps in the world, but hey- zipline.
There are already several "rigid ziplines" in the area that go around curves. This one looks more interesting because it appears to transition from traditional cable to rigid back to cable. I doubt that it's being built at Dollywood as they just opened a major expansion for this season.
Jami B if you come to Tennessee don’t come to Nashville please. We’re full enough of tourists and bachelorette parties as it is. There’s also places much better to visit, Pigeon Forge being one of them, I would also recommend Gatlinburg if you’re an outdoorsy type.
This looks like a very complicated technique to make ziplines go around corners. There is a much simpler technique at a tree climbing ziplining place near Marburg Germany, it was in one of their many climbs (rides?), the guy told me it was designed by swiss engineers. Basically the thing that attaches you to the metal wire has a cross-section that looks like the letter C, the wire is thicker than the opening of that C letter, and the wire is attached to trees (goes 90 around the tree), it's attached my metal pieces that are thinner than the opening of that C letter. The point of attachment is tilted at a reasonable angle so that the thing that attaches you to the wire can rotate a little bit (imagine the letter C rotating) to make that attachment point pass through. It's quite terrifying while you're in that ride because you feel like you keep getting detached from the wire, but it's completely safe :D I think the only limitation of that technique is that you can either have all turns be right or left, you can't have a mix of both, because that letter C has only one opening pointing towards only one side. But maybe there could be a way around that.
Imagine travelling down a mountain on one of these, curving around trees and streams and all sorts of picturesque landscapes as you rocket down the hillside - Combination of scenic tour and thrill ride! 😍😍😍😍
looks like a 360 camera to me, it certainly has 2 or more lenses, it's like when you look at your nose with one eye and when you look with both eyes it kinda disappears.
It's the go pro that can see 360 degrees (I think it's the fusion) and so it has 1 lens on each side, they are slightly offset from each other so there is a bit of a seam directly below and above the camera. They have a park bench video where they discuss it
Thats so cool! I am currently learning about torque converters in go-carts and the clutch assembly has the same concept as the brakes in the zip-line! Its amazing that what can be used to run your car can also be used as a way to have fun on a frekin zip-line.
"it's easier to say that you should do everything reasonable rather than change the law every time..." Yes, I agree. With "vague" laws you have the ability to adapt to new things. Here in France it's the opposite, everything has to be exactly detailed otherwise the law straight up doesn't apply. it has two main consequences : There is many ways to go around laws and the laws are so complicated and unecessary long that most people don't know the law.
