Safety

Maintaining the safety and comfort of all customers is our most paramount concern. Many tour concerns may be minimized through proper planning of course operation procedures. A professional attitude toward customer well being will ensure a long history of positive client experiences.

Zip Designs has developed custom harnesses, pulleys, and safety lanyards in conjunction with Robertson Mountaineering, (ISO-9001 certified), doing business since 1969 when they began making private label harnesses for Royal Robbins. All lanyards, pulleys, and carabiners are selected and designed specifically for their industrial use and operation with zip line ecology tours. Many components are rated and break test well over 7,000 lbs. Tour pulleys, primary point of contact to tour wire rope, are rated to and break test at around 19,000 lbs.

Zip Designs will, from time to time, take select equipment from courses and conduct break tests to determine how equipment is wearing and tearing after use through thousands of zip cycles. These results help us provide more accurate information for our clients and help maximize equipment life cycles without compromising customers course integrity.
