High above the ground, cruising along with the wind in your hair, flying like a bird, you'll find ziplining to be one of the most accessible ways for people of almost any age to experience an unbelievable adrenaline rush.
But then there are some thrill-seekers who might need a little more than just a zipline ride. For example, check out the people in the video below, who are taking ziplining to the extreme at a Panama City, Panama attraction. Not only are they ziplining from the top of a skyscraper, they're not even staying on the zipline all the way to the bottom. These daredevils are actually releasing themselves from the zipline and parachuting to the ground below. Check it out here:
