Ziplining is an exhilarating way to enjoy aerial views of nature without sucking on a helium tank until you get really big and drift away. Float above treetops with this Groupon.

The three-hour canopy tour, which traverses eight ziplines and 12 flight platforms, escalates from a low-flying introductory ride to heights of up to 80 feet and speeds of up to 30 mph. Led by trained guides, each tour includes a review of safety procedures, a Robertson full-body harness, and all the necessary safety equipment. For more details, see the tour description.

Though Big Bear Ziplines sometimes offers a discounted price online, this Groupon is still the best deal available.

Big Bear Ziplines

More than 4,000 feet of ziplines form a high-flying network across a 50-acre plot of woods and hay fields at Big Bear Ziplines, an award-winning company. Per their name, the outdoor adventure company features two onsite bears. The bears are not actual carnivorous animals; rather, they are Little Bear and Big Bear, two of the course’s eight ziplines. Little Bear hoists riders a mere 10 feet off the ground, introducing gliders to the concept of ziplining; Big Bear, meanwhile, soars up to 60 feet off the ground, and serves as the finale. Along the way, riders glide from a zipline modeled after Tarzan’s vine and experience the optical illusion of uphill ziplining, rather than the less popular illusion that the zipline is used dental floss. For a spookier take on the same course, guides also host nighttime, zombie-themed tours during October, lit only by strobe lights, glow sticks, and the participants’ headlamps.

The Groupon Guide to: the Flip Side

Many people just assume that everything they read is true without ever looking at the counter argument. Take a look at the flip side of some of these “universal truths”:

Universal Truth: Lying is bad.
The Flip Side: What about lying to save someone’s life? If your child wants to leave the house, but you know that the world is a place full of danger, is it wrong to lie and say there’s nothing out there?

Universal Truth: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The Flip Side: Do nothing unto others. You don’t know where others have been. Others could have been playing in the toilet.

Universal Truth: The earth orbits the sun.
The Flip Side: Our planet is just a big rubber ball that a giant baby is playing with, and the sun is a night-light in the baby’s bedroom. Other planets are the baby’s other toys. Gravity is the baby’s hands.

Universal Truth: Don’t bring electronics with you into the bathtub.
The Flip Side: What if your phone is in a plastic bag? Would it still electrocute you? Would it?

What should we do unto others?
