Safety Equipment – We use the Bornack SSB smart-belay system.
The Bornack SSB smart-belay system, as it does not allow participants to ever remove both safety attachments at the same time; so you are always safely connected. The Bornack system is designed and engineered in Germany and is the winner of the 2013 & 2012 new product award at the international adventure park association (IAPA) awards. We are the only facility in New Zealand offering this fantastic, easy to use system.
Safety Briefing – A full induction including completion and grading
A full safety briefing and induction including completion and grading on a practice course is done before you head up onto the ropes. In the induction we explain how the Bornack works, what all the equipment, how it is fitted and complete a full check once fitting is complete.
Safety guidelines – You are responsible for your own safety on the course,
While up on the course you are given the responsibility to manage your own safety with instructors just a shout away, monitoring your progress from the ground. All of our instructors are fully trained with rescue personnel always present equipped with specialized gear if you ever require their assistance.
