Without my children remembering the good things, I think with four boys and one girl they would recall a trail of "bad birthdays" !<br /> I have one of my own. When I was turning thirteen, my parents and I picked up five of my friends and we went to a beautiful lake for the day where we swam and barbecued food.

One of my son's broke at arm ice skating on a birthday expedition, and another had an allergic reaction to a birthday meal at a good restaurant. Still, they remember their birthdays fondly.

We went on one in Mexico once & had a stick to use as a brake. Others went with a different company & got titanium sticks for brakes.

In the pic I didn't see any padding at all under it in case of such falls. Hopefully the venue has liability insurance to cover all the medical bills. Google 'zipline accidents'.
