Wow...maybe since you don't know anything about it, its good that you are willing to ask questions. I don't think online is the place to ask them though. They have a slack line rigged at miguels. Find out who rigged that thing and go from there.
I feel like its a set-up. To sacrifice yourself by posting that lame....Its too easy.

If you give a man a match, he'll be warm for a minute. If you set him on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life!
I highline walk, and rig from time to time here in Zion. You really need to do ALOT more research then you think. The amount of force that is applied to a highline rig is easily more then 3-5times that of a normal slackline which generates ~4000#s, just by walking on it (not falling on it). I have seen steel lockers blow on a highline while testing. If a person was on it...well...bye,bye
I wouldnt reccomend it without finding a competent person who has rigged multiple lines with sucess.
Reading about is NOT enough.
my 2 cents, and i suggest you listen to it! your choice though
