Who's ready to go on this 1.74-mile-long zipline in the United Arab Emirates?
National Geographic can I have go but with sponsorship
National Geographic yes i am
How do they get down from the platform at the end? Strange to have the platform suspended in the air.
Ryan Lange it's a one way trip. They just jump to their deaths
Looking at all the cables on around it, i think they can lower the whole platform to the ground?
First ride ends at that platform, and then you start again from there to the ground.
It would be tiring and a long walk up hill to the start again?
People go on their own vehicles, or taxi/uber. You can hike, if you're upto it. :)
Miles? feet? C'mon at least a conversion.
12 parsecs
@ebola8 its 28,000 decimeters long...hope that helps since google and calculators baffle you
Now I understand why Trump is in office... Poor fellas.
2.8km or 9,200 ft. Also, Trump is not the problem with the American education system. He has only been in office for a year...
Why didn't they let the rider carry a cam?
What makes you think they did?
I dun think they did
What you think is your conclusion based on no knowledge. Your opinion is not fact.
Did u even read or understand what i said? This video contains no first person footage from the rider. It tries to film the rider from other angles. Hence my question, why didn't they let the rider carry a cam.
Then you suddenly jump in and say i think they did let the rider carry a cam. What's your problem?
MrBonners What are you even asking, you questions and stupid statement doesn’t have anything to do to relate with his question?
0:40 is that thing seriously only being hold by the wires?
Yup.
CGI
marco mendex bridges are held by wires too
Betternet yeah but the wires that hold the platform look way too thin...
Now, THAT'S a zip line!
Look's like great fun😃😃
*Now that's something*
This would of been crazy in 360
Ziplines always bother me from a safety perspective. If the line snaps, you die! It is a single point of vulnerability. To fix this from an engineering perspective, you have a second, redundant line that you are hooked to in case the first one breaks. Also ensure the second one is made by a different company, preferably out of different materials.
Or make it two zipline cables instead of one, the problem with this is that it might increase the strain on both cables.
Fair point. I guess this is a beyond-design-basis event. However, those things can happen. The funny thing with BDB accidents is that you can't figure out how they happen but can prepare for the worst.
Uau !!!! Mt show. ..radical 😁
omg now to plan a road trip to Ras al kaimah !
Amazing
I agree with the topic it was the longest Zipline that you can find on UAE and has a very wonderful view.
Looks like an one of kind of experience!
Um But how do the riders get down once they’ve reached the other side? I didn’t see anything, did u?!? 👀🧐😨😅
Awesome but I couldn't do it, I'd pass out. Lol
anybody know what this music is? I love it.
dude i've always dreamed about those things i want to visit!!
Wow. 👍🏽
Bucket list!!!!🙏
Looks Fun
Where is the cam view? Misleading title!
1.74 mile = 2.8 km
Looks like fun.
??
Needs a ski lift alongside, underneath, or above for going back up! Even if it's a long ride it would make going up also a great experience. If it takes 15 or 20 minutes, put a little table in front of the riders, like a school desk, and let them eat lunch while sitting on a chair moving through the sky! Then when I returned to the top I'd probably want to zipline down again!
Crazy
Cool
i call shenanigans
Great View . :-(
#wow 👍🏼
This is crazy, sign us up!
The platform leads to another one kilometer zipline that brings you to the ground. For a limited time riders will get complementary gopro footage of their ride.
...and then you end up on a tiny platform suspended in the air. Where do you go from there?
that's about the middle of the zipline. First you get to that platform, and then you take another ride to the ground.
Ah. Thank you.
Is anyone reminded of the south park episode?
So what if it does?
Then why would you even bother to answer :D
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
A dense forest versus a desert I rather ride over a forest the view would be so great
Someone please tell me music or song name of this video?
And then they magic their way off of that platform???
0:24 WTF??
What if your face smacks into a bird while you’re moving 93 mph
Depends which direction the bird is moving and how fast.
good way to get shitfaced
Everybody yell "zipline!" And put up a shocka bro for the camera
Whats more boring then riding a zipline? Watching a video of people riding a zipline.
PantsB4Squares funny enough I did find it boring as well, although I wasn't going 93 miles an hour and whoever had me attached had me not attached properly. So glad for the secondary safety.
That music in the end is so annoying (
Your answer is annoying, no one's making you read and answer the comment.
I feel sick just watching. 😲
I would trust Nat Geo to use the metric system 😑
Hopefully, there aren't any fatalities.
Why would there be? You think the equipment hasn't been tested and re-tested and inspected many times over?
Does that ever stop deaths from occuring on roller coaster rides at theme parks...???
Wheeeeeee
That could go wrong in so many ways
My first thought
So can driving on the freeway or a gondola car or a skit lift.. You think this equipment isn't tested regularly?
How can you proof it is tested regularly? you can swim (unless you hit your head onto something) with a gondola, cars have safety measures (even being more dangerous than the zipline statistically)
Now, go back and go on it with a GoPro.
I'm good I like life
😑😑😑
That's breaking the speed limit cool😎⭐🇺🇸🇵🇷😃
There is no speed limit in the air except set by the air.
MrBonners yeah i hear that😂😂😂
Boy you loser really must be in trouble huh
A nope
Where is the ride?
Clickbait?
++
id do it for 1000 dollars...just seems idiotic to me
Naa not worth it for them boring views
