Safety is No Accident
Ziplines are not toys. They are complex, high-velocity pieces of equipment that require maintenance, care, and knowledge. Sadly, too many people ignore the safety protocols developed by engineers—if they bother learning them at all. When injuries occur on a zipline or aerial adventure course, you’ll often find that human error was, at some point, responsible. As a world-class designer and your expert witness, my goal is to impart one thing: there are no accidents in safety.
