Are they out of their minds?

No. They are probably very good engineers.

@Lori + 1
They're catering to people who want a more exciting life. Unfortunately, it sometimes just ends in a messy death.

Unfortunately not good enough to avoid killing a customer now and again.

I am an engineer, and I can see perfectly well that the load (two people) on the cables could be moved to one side, by the wind or sudden movement of the individuals, resulting in collision with a fixed object, possibly a tree.
