Zip lining can be an exhilarating experience, but it can also be scary your first time. With preparation, and keeping a few things in mind, your first experience doesn’t need to be scary at all. Here‘s some tips to help you prepare for zip lining and put your mind at ease.
Zip Line Tips for First-Timers
Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind that are useful for your first time zip lining at Empower Adventures and any time after:
- Wear closed-toes shoes that fit comfortably without being too loose. You don’t want your footwear to fly off on the zip line, so it is best to wear things that fit snugly to your person.
- Similar to the above tip, make sure that anything on your person is safely secured. If you have loose pockets or have something fastened to you that might fall off or out, make sure that it is properly secured or stored away so that it won’t fall out.
- Never start without being instructed to do so. It is best to listen to your guide and follow their instructions for both your safety and other’s.
- Read up on any guidelines before booking your next adventure. We want to make sure that you have all of the information you might need prior to adventuring with us.
