1. CHOOSING THE ZIPLINE COURSE
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN SELECTING YOUR ZIPLINE COURSE!
• Select a location where the whole course can be easily supervised
• Attachment trees MUST be healthy and at least 100 cm in circumference or 30 cm in diameter. Use tape
measure to check this.
Note: Measure the trees at least 2 m from the ground.
• Never attach to a tree showing excessive decay, cracks, exposed roots, disease, excessive lean,
damage from weather or poor tree architecture. Select trees in stable, non-saturated soils (not in areas
with eroding soils or in a wet area of the yard). Do not select trees in an area that has recently been
cleared.
• If you are unsure of your trees' health, contact an arborist and have them asses your trees' health and
suitability.
• If you are attaching to other types of posts or poles, you must get the option of a qualified engineer as
suitability of the "side load" strength is required. Min. anchor strength is: 1150kg/11.5 kN.
• Make sure you have enough cable to reach and secure to both trees! Your long course cable should be
able to touch both trees at the same time and have at least 1.5 m of extra cable left over at the Finish
Point.
• Course should be free of obstacles, including but not limited to: bushes, other trees, rocks, debris, hard
surfaces, or anything that could cause injury.
• Do not set course on a steep hill, as unsafe speeds may result. See SLOPING COURSE ADJUSTMENT
section for more info.
• Do not set course over swimming pools, ponds, streams, rivers or any other body of water, as drowning
may result.
• Do not set up in public lands, parks, or other areas that may prohibit ziplining
• Make sure there are no branches or other obstacles at the Start or Finish Point that could injure a rider.
• Do not select a course near power/electrical lines. Your course must be at least 30.5 m or 1.5 times the
height of your highest tree, whichever is the greater distance) from where any power line would fall.
