Safety & Technology
Since 2002, more guests have safely zipped with Skyline Eco-Adventures than with any other zipline company in the United States. From the start, safety has always been our number one priority, an essential part of every decision we make and every piece of equipment we develop. With over one million safe customer zipline crossings Skyline has an unmatched track record of safety, enabling our customers to feel secure in the unforgettable experiences they have at Skyline.
About our Zipline Courses:
While many companies can boast that they build zipline tours that "meet or exceed zipline industry standards" it would not take long to look over a variety of those courses and determine that existing zipline standards are weak at best. Skyline Eco-Adventures, however, is the only zipline operation that goes well beyond all "existing zipline standards" and draws on all relevant standards presented by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), and the American Society for Material and Testing (ASTM). In fact, Skyline Eco-Adventures has built the only zipline course that has been independently verified through engineering field inspections to be in compliance with ASTM F24 standards. Skyline's professional rigging team helps set national rigging standards for the ASME - and brings three generations of professional rigging experience to this reletively new industry. Fully insured since 1945 - no other zipline rigging crew comes close to their depth of experience or professional credentials.
About our Equipment:
Skyline's Technology Division develops state-of-the-art zipline equipment that retains a true sense of adventure for the guest while providing the industry's most comprehensive safety systems. With multiple patent-pending technologies, including the zipline industry's most advanced pulley, Skyline offers a glimpse of the future of ziplines. Our line of zipline harnesses boasts more mechanical redundancy than any other zipline harness in use today. Our harnesses, statistically, are over four times safer than all "paragliding style" zipline harnesses on the market, and typically about two times safer than traditional zipline style harnesses. This is accomplished by creating permanent harness connections wherever possible - to eliminate any chance of human error - and adding redundancy wherever permanent connections are not possible.
