iplines are a simple idea: a long, sloping
cable with a pulley and harness attached
to it. It can take just a few seconds to
more than two minutes to ride from one end
to the other. And the sensation of flying over a
beautiful landscape is far from ordinary. Ziplines
are thrilling, and depending on
the course, they are safe for
almost anyone to enjoy.
How to enjoy ziplines
Learn about any zipline course before you try
it. Safe courses are approved by the Association
for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT). You
should always ask if the course you wish to ride
meets ACCT standards.
