A client of mine had one of those. I probably would not due to liability but it would be a cool thing to do. You'd be the coolest grandpa around!

Yep, liability. Had a kid knock out a tooth on ours. Homeowners insurance came through for us on that one!

My brother has one - you need 2 stout trees - and/or some kind of elevated platform to start from. Make it as long as you can. End the line close enough to the ground so that the riders will run aground before running into a tree. Some kits have a bungee-connected block that will give you a 'soft stop' - also a good idea.
I have 4 children currently aged 4 to 11 - they all LOVE going over to his house (have since I helped him put it up 7+ years ago). That zipline is still the star of his backyard. Id do it if I had a big enough yard.
