| Who
is most likely to be injured on a zip line? If you guessed
the
facilitator, you’re correct! The Zip Line is an
exciting
but complex challenge course element that requires skill and special
care to operate safely and effectively. During this workshop, participants will develop skills in the following areas: • Set up and take down procedures • Staff attachment on a platform • Belaying participants to a zip line platform • Launch procedures • Dismount techniques Participants will learn how to manage multiple participants, handle equipment at height and to make safe lifeline transfers. The small details make a big difference in participant and facilitator safety. The workshop will conclude with a “demonstration” of Zip Line rescue procedures. Please Note: Actual rescue skills are taught in a 40-hour workshop titled “Critical Skills for Safety”. |
