What do you think of flying through the air while being tethered to a steel wire? Sounds exciting? Well, you are not the first one who thought it's cool. Zipline, the name given to this extreme sport, has already gained some popularity from extreme sport enthusiasts.

This rising popularity, however, has already raised some safety concerns, as someone from Texas has already died from this activity. It's still an unregulated sport, so it would still be best to just wait for regulations to come in and take into effect.
