Wow.. the tires are terrible. The zipline at Panache ends when you slam into giant springy mattresses... and one could easily break an ankle hitting them *those* the wrong way. I can only imagine what slamming into a giant tire feels like - whiplash and if any part of your body catches on the edge potentially some broken limbs.

I think they'd be really limited in the type of bridge they could build there too.. probably some of rope or hanging bridge, not much safer.
