Costa Rica Zip Line Tours | Travel Tips - USAToday.com: "Zip-line tours can be strenuous exercise or a relaxing glide. Some venues require a great deal of climbing and hiking, while others merely allow you to plop yourself in the harness chair and let your flight to be controlled by the operator. If you have a fear of heights, avoid tours that require a tower climb. Depending upon the sophistication of the setup, you might be required to do your own braking by using a heavy glove to drag on the wire as you approach the end of the line and prepare to dismount to the platform."
