One of the most critical components of a zipline is the braking system, which is responsible for ensuring that riders come to a safe and controlled stop at the end of their ride. In the world of ziplining, there are several types of brakes available, with the Zipline Spring Brake and the Emergency Arrest Device being two of the most popular options.
With advancements in magnetic technology, zipline brakes are becoming more efficient and reliable than ever before. Magnetic brakes use powerful magnets to slow down and stop the rider, providing a smooth and safe landing. This technology is becoming increasingly popular in the adventure business industry, with more and more adventure parks and outdoor recreation areas adopting it for their zipline rides.
In our series of white papers and expert articles, we’ll explore the world of zipline brakes and provide valuable insights into what it takes to succeed in this exciting industry. From equipment selection and maintenance to risk management and customer service, we’ll cover all the essential topics that adventure business owners and operators need to know.
Whether you’re a seasoned zipliner or an adventure business owner looking to incorporate the latest in zipline braking technology into your offerings, our resources can help you make informed decisions and achieve greater success. So, gear up and get ready to explore the world of Zipline Brakes, Magnetic Technology, and Adventure Parks with our expert guidance and insights.
Ziplines and braking systems must meet the criteria of the Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). An Emergency Braking Device (EAD) does exactly what it says: it stops the driver if the primary brake fails to perform as intended, preventing injury or death.

The zipline, unlike many other activities, gives riders a sense of freedom and adventure; riders enjoy unrestricted air movement, whistling winds, and views normally reserved for birds. For the rider, the best zipline experience is smooth, easy, and safe, while for the crew, it is automatic, fast, and dependable. Zipline brakes from zipSTOP are developed to enhance the rider experience and improve zipline handling.

Ziplining (also known as flying fox, zipline, zipline, or death ride) has become a popular outdoor adventure sport in recent years, particularly in forest adventure parks. The two-kilometer-long zipline in Europe is now the longest in the world. When using poles on flat terrain, ziplines are usually limited to 200 meters. The same arrangement can be utilized for longer lengths on steep terrain and poles on top of high ground!

Unlike mechanical brakes, which use friction and kinetic energy to stop objects from moving, eddy current brakes use electromagnetism to do it. Our cutting-edge magnetic braking system is exceptionally dependable, smooth, and long-lasting. There are no contacting parts in the braking system, hence there is no friction. What exactly does that imply?
