Game does not let me grab back onto Zip-Lines after jumping off.

Product: Apex Legends
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number R9290
Enter RAM memory size in GB 16
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? aphronyaa
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? All Legends
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. All of the Map
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Playing like normal
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 0, happened since I started playing.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Every session.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? I jump off a zip-line, and I cannot grab back onto it to go the other day, or simply drop and latch back on instantly.
What should be happening instead? When you jump off a zip-line, the intended mechanic is that you are supposed to be able to instantly grab back onto the zip-line. Watch any TwitchTV Apex streamer - Dizzy, MoonMoon_OW, etc. and see they do this often. Multiple YouTube videos say you can do this as well.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know. None of my squad-mates can do this either. Yet everyone on the internet is seemingly doing it at will. What's the problem?

    Hi there, 


    Since this is a pretty old thread that's been inactive for a long time I am going to lock it to prevent further necro-posting. 

    There is actually a cooldown on how often you can grab a zipline that increases each time you jump off without touching the ground. The cooldown will reset once you land on the ground. This was added to the game last summer with the Lost Treasures patch. You can find the full patch notes here
