Just did this last week. It was great fun! Super safe! There were four carabiners and two cables that kept us secure. And as you zip - you really are not THAT high off the ground. I left my DSLR camera behind because I wasn't sure if you could zip with it, and I so regret it. The views were fantastic. You can zip with a backpack on so it would have been no issue to bring it along. If nothing else, bring your smart phone or a go-pro. You'll have a great time. All the employees were wonderful. Well... there was one who called a scared patron "Chicken" at least 25 times - no joke. That was a little iffy. I'm guessing it was a cultural thing because where I am from, you can't talk anyone into anything by calling them "Chicken." But she did finally get up the courage to zip her way down. Just so you know - she (and her irrational fear) were not the norm. I say DO IT. You won't regret it.
