Designing and engineering a zipline requires a thorough understanding of various factors, including structural force analysis, rider velocities, and kinetic forces. It also involves conducting crosswind, tailwind, and headwind studies to ensure that the zipline is safe for riders.
Cable specifications, tensions, and safety margins are other important considerations that must be taken into account during the design and engineering process. Secondary braking and dampening calculations are also necessary to ensure the safety of riders and prevent accidents.
Choosing the right trolleys, brakes, and harnesses is crucial in ensuring the safety and comfort of riders. Site-specific operations and maintenance manuals are essential for keeping the zipline running smoothly and minimizing downtime. Throughput analysis is also important to ensure that the zipline can accommodate a sufficient number of riders and generate a profit for the adventure business.
