I see a video is now posted with two adults on a Wave and one is on the trapeze. I have read that the trap on the wave is intended for children and is not suitable for adults or the solo sailor. After watching this video, with an adult male on the wire, I am not sure what to think about the trapeze on the wave besides its ok.
So, what is the truth?
Light weights only?
Can it be used with a solo sailor?
Am i going to die? :D

My wife, 110lbs, is keen on the idea of hiking out on the wire, so I think I am going to order the trapeze kit. But I still want to hear from others that have the trapeze.

I'll report back once I have installed and tested the system.
