There is a very high safety risk in trying a zipline without professional guidance, and it is strongly recommended not to take risks. Zipline is an extreme sport that requires professional equipment, technical training and strict safety management. Improper operation may lead to serious injury or even death. If you still plan to participate by yourself, please be sure to pay attention to the following (but again, professional guidance is essential)： --- ### **1. Environmental and equipment inspection** -Safety of zipline structure**: Confirm whether the anchor point, bracket, and pulley system of the zipline are built by a professional organization and maintained regularly. Self-built ziplines are extremely unreliable. -**Personal equipment**: You must wear professional full-body seat belts, helmets, and non-slip gloves, and ensure that all equipment (such as pulleys and locks) have passed international safety certifications (such as UIAA and CE). It is forbidden to use non-professional substitutes (such as ordinary ropes and carabiners). -Terminal buffer device**: Confirm that the end of the zipline has a deceleration or buffer design (such as elastic rope, sandbag), otherwise a high-speed collision may cause serious injury. --- ### **2. Operational risk control** -**Weight and speed**: The speed of the zipline is affected by weight and slope. If the weight is too light, it may stagnate halfway, and if it is too heavy, it may speed and hit. -**Emergency braking**: Learn the correct braking posture (such as holding the rope in your hand to slow down), but be aware that braking with bare hands may cause friction burns or loss of control. -**Midway stagnation treatment**: If you are stuck in the air, you need to have a backup plan (such as a traction rope or rescue equipment), otherwise hanging high may cause panic or dehydration. --- ### **3. Physical health and mental preparation** -**Fear of heights and emergencies**: Even if you are not afraid of heights in daily life, emergencies at high altitude (such as shaking, abnormal equipment noise) may cause instinctive panic and lead to incorrect operation. -**Weather impact**: Wind speed exceeding the safety threshold (usually>20km/h) will intensify the swing, and rainy days may cause the pulley to slip. --- ### **4. Legal and ethical responsibilities** -**Legality of the site**: The use of ziplines in non-commercial sites without permission may involve violations of the law, and rescue costs and legal responsibilities will be borne in the event of an accident. -**Peer risk**: If peers have no experience, they may not be able to provide effective help, but increase the risk of collateral damage. --- ###**Emphasize again**： -**Professional guidance is a must**: Commercially operated ziplines have backup safety systems, coach monitoring and rescue plans, and there is almost no room for fault tolerance in self-operation. -**Alternative plan**: If you want to experience zipline, please choose a formal operating organization, which will provide training and supervision by professionals. There is only one life, and taking risks is not equal to blindly taking risks! Please be sure to put safety first.
