Zip line is an action-filled recreational activity that involves riding a steel cable on a protective seat or a belt between two points and generally on a valley that exhibits spectacular sceneries.
Zip line is a fascinating and totally awesome pastime. Keep reading to learn the basics of the zip line safety and spend a wonderful time in our park unmarred by unpleasant accidents!
Basic zip line kits consist of:
• A steel cable capable of sustaining a certain weight limit.
• A harness put tightly around your body and suspending you safely in the air.
• A carabiner hooking the harness onto the cable and carrying you down its length.
Rider's Safety Information
1. To prevent any possible risks and injuries, make sure your outfit includes all necessary gear included in our zip line kits: a securely attached harness, impact-resistant helmet, and friction-reducing gloves. If there is a strong wind, it’s also advisable to put on a pair of goggles to protect your eyes.
2. It takes some practice and great concentration to take off and land correctly, especially if you are zip lining for the first time. It’s very easy to get carried away by the beauty of the scenery, but don’t forget about safety and carefully follow your instructor’s guidelines.
3. While sliding down the cable, test out the pulley break included in most zip line kits. This will give you more confidence and comfort. You might also want to slow down while approaching the final platform to land softly and safely.
4. Zip lining requires proper clothing. A comfortable sports suit and flat shoes are more preferable to tight jeans and high heels hindering your movements.
5. There are height and weight restrictions for all zip line kits. Before going for a ride in nature, make sure your body parameters fit within those limits. If the cable isn’t meant for a person of your size, your trip can result in a serious injury or even a fatal fall.
6. Although our zip line gear is safe even for big kids, show a responsible attitude and don’t leave your little ones unattended. Keep an eye on them even if you allow them to zip line on their own!
7. When using a platform or a bridge, keep your hands on the railing for support in case you slip, stumble or lose balance.
