Answer 3

Zip lines can go fast, but you will have some control over how fast you go.  It's an incredible experience, so don't avoid going.  You'll have a great time! As for your mom - as long as she doesn't have arthritis, or bad joint problems in her hands (you use your hands to control speed) I don't see any problem with it.

Answer 4

It goes somewhat fast, they have different safety rules than the US, its a blast, I did one near Playas Flamingo in Costa Rica, Its not like a roller coaster, its a straight shot between the trees.
