I wonder what sort of G force there would be as they come to a halt?

They could sells those to Alton Towers Theme park or Disney World. Be great excitement and anticipation as you wouldn't actually know when you got on the ride if you were going into orbit or if there was going to be a problem and you were going down the Zipline. At Alton Towers it would mostly be the Zipline :S

#1 I estimate the baskets are traveling with 20 m/s when they hit the nets. It then takes them about 20 m to come to a halt. That would be between 1g and 2g deceleration force. Since it is applied gradually it cannot be too bad. Certainly not that bad, that i hadn't hitched a ride on the final descent :)
