Safety rules

At the Ropes Course, the continuous belay system is used first and foremost, which ensures constant user safety throughout the entire route. This system uses one carabiner and a zip line pulley, which allow for uninterrupted attachment to the safety rope, even when the rope is marked with the color yellow. The system with two carabiners is a replacement equipment and is used only when an instructor deems it appropriate.

§ 1. General rules and preparation

  1. The basic rule for staying safe on the ropes course equipment is to clip into the safety ropes independently. If for any reason someone is unable to perform this action, they should not enter the park’s equipment without supervision.
  2. People who want to use the Ropes Course must receive fall protection equipment from an instructor (a harness with lanyards, carabiners, a zip line pulley, and a helmet).
  3. Only an instructor puts on the safety equipment. After the safety equipment is put on, any changes to it are not allowed.
  4. Jewelry, glasses, mobile phones, and other items should be properly secured so that they do not pose a threat to the health or life of the owner and other customers.
  5. People with long hair should tuck it under their helmets so it doesn’t get tangled in the pulleys and other elements of the course.

§ 2. Moving along the route and equipment handling

  1. The carabiners of the safety lanyard (marked with the color red) should be clipped with the gates facing in two opposite directions. After each carabiner is clipped, you should check that the gate has been properly closed.
  2. When moving to the next obstacles, you must clip the first carabiner, then the second, to the safety rope one at a time. It is not an acceptable situation to unclip both carabiners at once!
  3. The clipping points are marked with the color red.

§ 3. Zip line rules

  1. If there are no obstacles on the steel rope, you should clip the pulley there. You must first clip the pulley to the rope, checking that the lanyard is not twisted. Only then should you sequentially unclip and re-clip the carabiners from the safety lanyard so that the zip line pulley is first on the zip line.
  2. While zip lining on the pulley, you should only hold onto the pulley’s lanyard. Grabbing the steel rope during the descent can lead to serious injury!
  3. The only permissible zip line position is the “sitting” position.
  4. When approaching the platform, you should lift your legs and bend them slightly at the knees to cushion any potential impact with the mattress. When you stop, you should grab the extra rope or loop with your hand so as not to slide away from the platform. You must not grab the rope behind the pulley, so that the returning pulley doesn’t run over your hand.
  5. Warning!!! In the final phase of the descent, do not extend your arms towards the mattress. If you failed to stop on the platform and slid back, you should wait until you stop, then by grabbing the support rope, pull yourself to the platform, facing the direction of travel.

§ 4. Finishing the route and general movement rules

  1. After riding the zip line, you should follow this sequence for re-clipping your safety equipment: first, unclip one carabiner and clip it to the loop wrapped around the tree, then unclip the second carabiner and clip it to the safety loop, and last, unclip the pulley that is still on the steel zip line and clip it to the loop on the side of the harness.
  2. Calmness is recommended when moving through the Ropes Course. You cannot jump on obstacles or swing on attractions that are not intended for it.
  3. Only one person can be on a single obstacle. A maximum of two people can be on a platform.

§ 5. Actions in emergency situations

  1. In case of loss of strength, giving up, or other reasons preventing you from finishing the route, you should call the Ropes Course staff. You will be efficiently brought down to the ground.
  2. During your visit to the Ropes Course, you must absolutely follow the instructions of the instructors.
  3. People on the Ropes Course premises cannot, by their behavior, both on the ground and at height, create a threat to their own life or health or that of others.
  4. People on the Ropes Course premises cannot interfere with the work of the Park staff.
  5. All accidents and injuries should be reported to the Ropes Course staff immediately.
  6. Failure to comply with any point of the rules will result in an unconditional removal from the Ropes Course premises.
