Overview
fully accessible zipslide for the thrill seekers (not me, I was doing it for charity)! The team skill fully moved me from my power chair into a harness and into a quad bike supporting me at all sides as the quad bike moved. The quad bike took me to a 45 foot tree where I was manually hoisted to the top (unlike my poor wife who had to climb the 45 foot tree)! Throughout all of this I was talked through every step of the way, being reassured at every point. But let’s face it I was up a 45 foot tree with only one way down! The zipslide itself was terrifying but very professionally handled. I was skillfully caught at the bottom and returned to the quad bike then reunited with my power chair.

Anything else you wish to tell us?
Most people who do the zipslide have a fantastic time able bodied and disabled alike. I was one of the rare people who is terrified of heights and found out I am not that kind of thrill seeker. Despite that I would highly recommend this adventure if you want to feel like you are flying.
