They make brake blocks for zip lines that will help slow you down near the end… the “in line brake block” here http://ziplinehomekits.com/parts.html is the one I use, although you can buy them anywhere…
Of course, hitting the ground in the middle is harder to fix… you either need to raise the start and/or finish height, grab a shovel or backhoe to re-grade, or increase cable tension. Be careful adding too much tension, as the forces created by one person’s weight are greatly magnified as tension is increased.
Good Luck!
