    Wow - I had no idea that so many folks have watched this - I posted it over 7 years ago as a remembrance/tribute to my late husband Craig and our last trip to Alaska together - and pretty much sat without any hits for YEARS! - but now with so many views I added chapters to it and you can just skip to the launch chapter (2:05 )without sitting through the zip line folks getting everyone strapped in. Thanks for watching - p.s. The ' Largest Zip Line' is what they told us at the time - May of 2014

      UA-cam recommended this video to everyone who watched a single video of Zip Line. Feeling sad to know what happened to your husband, Craig. Lastly, thanks for adding Chapters.

      Nice tribute for your husband. Thank you for posting it. Sorry for your loss. The view must have been anazing! I'm not a fan of scary rides but this would be an experience to see it.
      I hope you're doing well. Greetings from PA. 😀

      🤔 Yeah, for a minute there I thought this video was taken here in Wilmington Delaware. But then I realized the mountains in ^this video are only about 1/3 the size of Delaware's coastal alpine range. Our zip lines start at 19,000 feet of altitude, and end when you splash into the Sea of New Jersey. 😉

    Maybe it's due to the shape of the camera lens or the angle but the end of this zipline doesn't look safe at all. If you didn't pull your feet up in time they might've smashed right into the ground, at least that's how it looks.
