Zipline is a dangerous outdoor sport. If there is no professional guidance, you must not rush to participate, because in the event of an accident, it may endanger life and safety. If under certain special circumstances, it still needs to be carried out without professional guidance, be sure to understand the following and strictly abide by it： ### Preliminary preparation -**Learn about zipline facilities** -**Check the condition of the equipment**: Carefully observe whether the steel cable of the zipline shows signs of rust or wear; whether the pulley rotates flexibly; whether the protective equipment such as seat belts and helmets is intact. If you find any security risks, do not use it. -**Confirm safety standards**: Understand the design parameters of the zipline, such as length, height, maximum load-bearing, etc., to determine whether it meets the safety requirements. -**Assess your own physical condition**: Make sure that you do not have diseases that are not suitable for strenuous exercise, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, fear of heights, etc. When you are unwell or in a state of fatigue, don't take risks. ### Wear equipment -**Wear the helmet correctly**: Adjust the helmet to the appropriate position to ensure that the helmet can be stably fixed to the head and will not shake. Fasten the lace-up of the helmet, the degree of tightness is appropriate to be able to insert a finger, neither too loose to cause the helmet to fall off easily, nor too tight to affect comfort and breathing. -**Fasten your seat belt**: The seat belt should be fastened to key parts of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, etc. Adjust the length of the seat belt so that it fits the body without loose or too long parts. Make sure that the lock of the seat belt can be locked normally and will not be opened accidentally during use. -**Check the equipment connection**: Carefully check whether the connection between the helmet and the seat belt, the seat belt and the zipline is firm. You can gently pull the connection part to feel the stability of its connection. If it is loose or abnormal, reconnect or replace the equipment. ### Sliding process -**Maintain the correct posture**: Sit straight, back close to the seat belt, feet together and straighten, do not shake or stretch out the zipline at will. Your hands can be placed naturally on both sides of your body or hold the safety handles to avoid touching steel cables or other objects during sliding. -**Control speed and balance**: At the beginning of the taxiing, don't panic, and descend naturally in the manner prescribed by the coach or facility. If you feel that the speed is too fast, do not try to use your feet to pedal the steel cable or other means to forcibly slow down. You should maintain your body balance and avoid imbalance due to excessive movement. -**Avoid collisions**: Pay attention to the front and surrounding environment, and predict possible obstacles or other skiers in advance. If you find that there is a situation ahead, you should prepare in advance, try to keep passing smoothly, and avoid collision with obstacles or others. ### Other precautions -**Follow the instructions of the on-site staff**: Even if you think you have sufficient safety knowledge, the instructions of the on-site staff are still essential. They are familiar with the specific situation of the zipline facility and can give accurate guidance and suggestions based on real-time conditions. -**Weather conditions**: Avoid ziplining in bad weather conditions, such as strong winds, heavy rains, lightning, etc. Excessive wind may affect the stability of the zipline and increase the risk factor; heavy rain will make the steel cable slippery, reduce friction, and affect the safety of gliding; thunder and lightning weather may cause lightning accidents. In the absence of professional guidance, any safety concerns should be suspended and professionals consulted. If possible, try to choose to carry out zipline activities in a formal place under the guidance of a professional instructor to maximize your own safety.
