Design Experience
HAVE YOU EVER GONE ZIPLINING?
Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours is expanding its services to include a zip line for the LESS adventurous. Your challenge is to design a zipline that will carry riders safely at a fairly leisurely pace. Design a 4 foot-long prototype of a zipline that will not exceed 20 mph for riders of varying weights.
