AARP Online Community and Discussion Forums - Ziplining

JoanieW12 · ‎07-10-2026

Hello all,

I am a woman in my early 70s and have the sudden desire to go zip lining, preferably in a forest. Can anyone suggest a reliable place in the US?

How exciting this sounds! But may I recommend researching this deeply? There have been so many accidents reported recently involving aerial activities and somewhere there must be information regarding the effects of these activities on our bodies at different ages?

As also "a woman in my early 70s", I would probably enjoy the same zip line if I were as brave as you Joanie! (there is one in Missouri that is purported to be one of the best-ZiplineUSA).

Please keep us posted?

You are right...I imagine the effects would be different, but if they are not radical I think I would chance it. I am definitely not brave, but feel like experiencing things I have not been able to.

Learning to ride a horse is another.

I will definitely keep you updated!
