PARTICIPANT SAFETY SYSTEM
Before each participant ventures onto the course, they are properly outfitted with a full body harness and a redundant sling line. This redundant sling line incorporates into a continuous belay overhead tracking system on every course which prohibits participants from ever disconnecting themselves from the attraction. At the ground level, a certified operator appropriately hooks and unhooks participants into the safety system to further the safety of participants. The entire safety system grants participants the ability to self-rescue, step back on the element and continue on their way throughout the course.
