ZIP LINE TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

When you become familiar with zip line equipment and understand zip line safety precautions, there still remain a few things that you can do to optimize your zip line experience. Here are a few zip-line tips for beginners:

Wear close-toed shoes. You wouldn’t want your flip-flop to go flying off in the jungle. Make sure whatever you wear is firmly secured to your person.

Choose comfortable clothing. Make sure your clothes suit the sport. Wear gym clothes or breathable, loose and comfortable clothes for the day.

Empty Your Pockets. Again, you wouldn’t want things to fly out of your pockets as you rush down the zip line. Therefore, avoid bringing expensive gadgets or other items in your pockets for this adventure.

Don’t Take Selfies. We’re sure you’ll be excited to post your zip line adventure to Instagram, but play it safe and avoid taking selfies while in flight. We recommend leaving your mobile phone on the ground!
