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!
