So, if you want to have a zip line experience but do not know how to prepare, here are some helpful tips for you to enjoy your zip line experience safely!  

1.Have the proper outfit 

Of course, one way to make your zip lining safe and enjoyable is to be comfortable with what you are wearing. Fitted workout apparel is ideal for an activity like this. 

But the weather plays a major role in your outfit. For the hot summer in New York and Massachusetts, lighter clothes will be better, or if it is snowing, you need to be well-covered. 

When it comes to shoes, Sneakers or any athletic shoes are ideal. Remember it is better to wear closed shoes and avoid flip-flops, sandals, and the like. 

2.Avail the service with professional operators 

Your safety is at risk if you just take this for granted. Before you take a plunge into zip-lining, make sure that the operator is legitimate, the equipment used is safe such as the carabiners, ropes, helmets, harnesses, etc., and the whole company adheres to the standards set by the Association for Challenge Course Technology.  

If you feel to ask questions, do not hesitate to ask your guide of the operator before you zip. 

3. Do not take selfie oftentimes 

We know how important it is to capture the moment especially when it is your first time, but remember that your safety should come first. This activity requires both hands so taking a selfie or any photographs is a no-no. You can still capture the moments by asking a family member of a friend to take photos of you while you are up there.  

4. Enjoy it 

When it is your first time, fear is a natural emotional response. But do not let your fear and anxiety kill the fun. When you are zip-lining, do not forget to take the view of the natural sceneries around you. Although it gives you an adrenalin rush, zip-lining can also be an avenue to experience nature.  

5.Know the limitations 

Most zip lines have a weight limit. However, weighing too much should not be the only concern here. If you have any heart conditions, or if you are pregnant, you need to skip zip lining for now. It is good to have fun, but it is better if you do not risk your life. You can try hiking instead.  

Conclusion 

Ziplining can be such fun, but make sure you have the necessary knowledge, equipment, and people to enjoy the whole experience safely!
