Dragon's Breath Zip Line with a injured wrist?

Recommended Posts

A friend will be recuperating from a wrist break 8 weeks prior to his cruise. W ill no longer be in a cast. Can he still do the zip line? Do you need to use your hands much on landing? I have zipped in PV, and don 't recall that there was much shock on landing that was absorbed by the hands/wrists. How about Dragon's Breath? Want to advise him.

This is a pic of the landing zone on the pracrice line. It is the same setup on the big zip line. The springs at the end is what breaks you unlike many other zip lines. He will have to lift his full body weight on the bar that holds the harness to get the caribiners unhooked.

As already mentioned he should ask his doctor what he would recommend.

Thank you, "Kevin'sgirl" for your informative reply, especially the photo showing the dismount. Of course, my friend will consult with his physician. your information will be most helpful in telling his doctor what is involved in the zip line experience. thanks again!
