Safety first when ziplining

Ziplining is an exciting activity where you glide down a cable using a pulley while wearing safety gear. If you ever get stuck, it’s important to stay calm and wait for the trained staff to assist you.

Modern ziplines are designed with safety in mind, and zipliners should make sure to pay attention to the safety briefing and follow the instructions for a smooth and enjoyable experience.
