START POINT LAUNCHING - CAUTION
The best and safest way to launch your riders, is to have them
first get on the zipline seat at the LOWEST part of your course (where the most dipping/sagging occurs)
and then town them back up to the starting point. This method helps eliminate the need for a platform and
ladder where falling accidents are most likely to occur. It is recommended that you place cushioning
materials in and around your course - see www.cpsc.gov/pagefiles/122149/325.pdf
IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE A PLATFORM - Your start point platform must be stable and strong enough to
stand on and must be placed on a flat, level surface.
CAUTION:
If you decide to use a zipline without a rider seat, you increase the chance of a rider losing
their grip on the trolley and falling, resulting in possible injury. USE CAUTION in the height of your zipline
course. Your riders should be as low as possible so that if they do lose their grip, they only fall a few feet
to the ground. However, their feet should not drag on the ground as they ride the course.

2. ZIPLINE COURSE SETUP
• ZIPLINE COURSE SETUP GOAL: The set up goal is to have the rider accelerate at first, then at the last
third of the course, start decelerating and finish the course going slightly uphill at the end (due to
dipping/sagging of the zipline and rider as they progress down the course. In most cases, the rider will roll
to a stop at the end, but will then roll backwards toward the middle.
WARNING! SPEED HAZARD - DO NOT SET UP AN UNSAFE ZIPLINE.
A steep zipline course or one that has too much line tension will create an
unsafe, dangerous, high-speed course that could cause serious injury or death.
See your zipline instructions for proper setup. It is critical that the rider will
already be slowing down before they finish the course. BE SAFE, NOT FAST!
Launching the rider

seat at the lowest point
on the line. Then push or
