Nov 28 2007World's Fastest Zipline Reaches 100 MPH
The world's fastest zipline resides in Sun City, South Africa. They also claim it's the tallest and longest, but I think that's debatable. You ride the thing with a damn fin between your legs to keep you straight while reaching a top speed of 100 mph. Wow this thing is awesome, and it fulfills a lifelong dream of mine: To feel like you're about to die right before crashing into the South African desert and really dying. Awesome!

yeah, but would you get to the ground faster than your pee, and if so, would you be able to move quick enough so that it all didn't "rain" down on you...
