In remote village in Colombia kids go to school using a high-altitude zipline.
They carry their younger sibs in hemp sacks.
The top speed is 38 mi/h (62 km/h).
The length of the zipline - 1,312 ft (400 m).
But I still have one question.
How do they get back home from school?
Any ideas?

Yeah, slingshot could work. But i guess they invented another system called the wheel, on the same cable, they only have to push forward.

Of-course, they can always use that giant slingshot/catapult that they have built in the valley, it is easier and safer. 33
