Video: Zipline FAIL produces some pretty terrifying noises

It sounds just as painful as it looks...

It sounds just as painful as it looks…

Homemade amusement rides can often be lacking in the health and safety department (see here) and this guy in the US certainly could have done a little more to make sure his homemade zipline was secure before taking it on its maiden voyage. Skip to the 0:15 mark to see/hear the fail…

We feel a bit bad for laughing at the guy who’s obviously in a lot of pain, but the noise he makes at the end is just too funny not to laugh at. According to the video’s uploader, the bloke in question only received a few minor bruises, so that should make you feel a bit better (it did for us).

After hearing that sound at the end we can’t help but be reminded of the wine-stomping lady and the Felix Baumgartner ‘impersonator’…
