torn rotator cuff and zip lines

[gmakarenjo]

I really want to do the zip line in PV, will it hurt my shoulder ?

Something you should probably ask your doctor. We don't really know the condition of your shoulder.

[cruiserbryce]

I believe that would be quite painful...

the harness holds all the weight. You hold the handles to balance

I wouldn't do it. You don't want to be in pain for the rest of your trip. You have your arms above your head, which could cause you some discomfort. But see what doctor says.

Just looking at these pix make my shoulder scream with pain. Yes I have a small rotator cuff tear,

[PennyAgain]

You don't need a bigger tear!

It really depends on how high you can raise your arm without it being to painful. Do you need surgery or are you just going thru physical therapy. I had a slight tear and then got a frozen shoulder because of it. I had finished my PE for the freeze about 2 months before I went on the ziplines and didn't have a problem. I still have a bit of pain when my arm is completely extended straight up, but nothing that I can't deal with. But you definitely need to check with your orthopedic dr.
