My first question would be what kind of braking system does it have.

The cable forms a catenary curve, not a laser straight line.

As you approach the landing you are going upwards and slowing to near zero.

My first question was, “where is this place?”

And then I had so many second questions - ranging from whether women would have to wear burkas when they zip line to the braking question - that I thought my post would be too complicated so I abandoned it.

Allah. It has Allah for a braking system.

Am I to understand that you have to zipline to get to the zipline ?
