:catstare: I always thought the weirdos going on about Michelle Obama being a man were just your average racists who went a little bit more bonkers then usual. But apparently there's a whole group of people who think every famous women in existence is actually a man? Also they're all Illuminati?

They also believe every famous man is actually a woman.

It makes sense, in crazy person context. "Any man more attractive and successful than me is a DIRTY TRANNY LIAR WHO DOESN'T DESERVE IT and any woman who is attractive and successful and unobtainable is A DIRTY TRANNY WHO IS ONLY SUCCEEDING BECAUSE OF THE DRIVE THAT ONLY MEN HAVE TO SUCCEED BUT IS BETRAYING THEIR MALE SUPERIORITY TO DO IT!"

The "test load" they used reached a speed between 45-60mph.

Also, "vertical difference from start to end points of 143 feet".

iirc they sent down a few watermelons that got obliterated to paste. They had built the entire structure without ever checking any math or basic engineering equations to actually find out how fast a kid sized object would travel by the end of the ride. Some other, smarter, goons found that, were a child to actually go down the zip line, they would crater into the earth.

I only have canyoneyes for you
I used to operate a zipline at an old job. We had a 250 lb weight limit, but that's because we had to slow them down at the end.
We didn't really have a way to enforce the weight limit, but you could tell when it was exceeded because they'd rip through at a zillion MPH and would hit you like a train if you got in front.

If I recall correctly, the point of the original thread was to ask for ideas on how to jury-rig a braking system, out of springs or foam rubber or something. (It would have to be cheap, though; they were out of money.)

Let that sink in. They spent tens of thousands of dollars building a zipline, belatedly realized it was lethal, and then turned to an Internet comedy forum for suggestions on how to halfass a way to make it not kill every child who rode it.

Yeah, it's loving stupid. It's obviously a crazy messianic cult, and in one of the trailers it shows a priest getting ready to fight back.
