Colombian Kids Ride CablesIt sucks to be poor in Colombia.

So, here we have a small village that is so remote it takes a 2 hour hike through a jungle, and over a river to get to it. Or, you can grab a rusty pulley, strap it over a 1/4 mile long steel cable and fling yourself over the whole thing at 30 MPH for the one minute death-defying journey to the other side.

The government has stated that they won’t build a bridge because the community is too small, and too remote.

Maybe someone should at least pitch in and get them some decent safety gear, like some real climbing gear and how about a real brake as opposed to a damn stick!


Hat tip to Robert Gale for this one.
