A portable zipline had been set up to tower over the Gilroy Garlic Festival. The stairway would fold down onto a trailer for later transport.

People walked to the top of a tall staircase and waited in line to be attached to pulleys.

Two people flew together down the cable. The strap hanging from the back of the pulley was a brake that could be pulled to slow descent.

The zipline ride ended next to a booth were people could sign up to ride the zipline. After paying money, the harness was put on, and then the rider had to walk back to the tower and up the stairs. After a too brief ride, the harness was returned to the booth.
