Hey, the epic rope swing in WA east of the Syncline has a small rope attached to help retrieve the rope. That retrieval rope got wrapped around the leg of a teenager while swinging. She got pretty bad rope burns and was hung upside down with her head down. Could have been a lot worse.

The retrieval rope needs a breakaway.

Someone needs to take off all retrieval ropes and just build a good pole with a hook using one of the many fishing nets that has washed down the Klickitat! I built one before I headed back to school, but someone dropped it and it broke...
