Desperate Measure

   Quite a long time ago my mom took me to Hocking Hills so we could zipline. First we did the normal zipline though the trees and it had a normal harness that you sit in as you zipline. But once we were almost finished it started to rain. So we had to finish our zipline in the rain. That didn't stop us because when we were done, we wanted to do the super zipline.  The super zipline is just a straight shot at a high speed, but the harness is very different.  This time we are hooked up so that we are laying on our stomachs flying like superman. You take off in pairs and see who makes it down first. Just so happens that I made it down first, but I didn't stay down. I watched as the other girl came in and get stopped by the break contraption, while all of a sudden I started moving backwards and the workers were laughing and wondering how to get me. I am looking at the workers and thinking to myself, I'm going to be stuck for a while. I was not moving fast, I was going rather slow, but the worst part was when I was stuck above the river. All I could think of was what would happen if the line broke. Eventually I spotted one of the workers  on their way to me in one of the normal harnesses sitting. He had a rope that he hooked me to but the way we got back was really awkward for me. Reminder, I am laying on my stomach facing him. He had to pull us back to the base so in a way he was facing me, but he had to lean back to grab the line, hand over hand we went. We finally got there and all I could think of was that I was greatful for not being dropped in the water.
