Your First Zipline Flight: 8 Things to Know
1️⃣ Is ziplining safe?
It is safe because the system can withstand loads far greater than those it carries during normal use. Ziplining has a reputation as a fun and safe adventure activity.
Before your visit, you can message us directly: ask how we ensure safety, inspect our equipment, and what certifications our instructors hold. Ask as many questions as you need until everything is clear.
Before your flight, our instructors will help you get ready and explain what to do.
2️⃣ Will it be scary?
Truly scary? Probably not. But your heart will beat faster. The most nerve-racking moment is usually leaving the platform. You’ll need to overcome the urge to stay on solid ground so that, just a second later, you can feel that sense of endless freedom.
3️⃣ Are there weight limits?
At Yell, participants weighing 44–98 kg can ride all five lines. Those weighing up to 43 kg or 99–120 kg can ride three lines.
4️⃣ What should I wear?
Wear breathable clothes that let you move easily. Choose closed-toe shoes, such as sneakers. Flip-flops and sandals can fall off during the flight and will be uncomfortable when landing, too.
5️⃣ Do I need to be fit?
Most of the physical effort comes from walking between the lines. The flight itself doesn’t require any special athletic training, so if you haven’t been to the gym in a while, don’t worry.
6️⃣ How fast will I go?
At Yell, zipline speeds can reach up to 80 km/h.
7️⃣ How do you stop on a zipline?
There are two types of braking: passive and active. With passive braking, the system slows you down automatically. With active braking, the rider performs specific actions to slow down.
8️⃣ How did ziplining begin?
Modern ziplining gained popularity thanks to biologists who, in the 1970s, were looking for a way to study dense tropical forests while disturbing the environment as little as possible. This led to the idea of eco-tours, and over time, flying above the forest became a recreational activity around the world.
