Discover the thrill of free fall devices, the ultimate accessible adventure for your facility. This guide introduces modern jump attractions like FlightLine and QuickFlight, which offer an adrenaline rush similar to skydiving without the high cost or intensive training. Learn how these devices provide a heart-pounding leap from a platform followed by a uniquely comfortable ‘soft catch’ thanks to advanced, staged braking systems. Beyond the thrill, these experiences are powerful character-builders, helping participants face fears and build self-esteem. With low operational costs and high throughput, find out why these free fall devices are the perfect addition to any ropes course, zip line tower, or family entertainment center.

Accessible Adventure: FlightLine vs Skydiving

Skydiving has long been a popular choice for thrill-seekers, but it comes with a hefty price tag and requires intensive training before taking the leap. FlightLine, on the other hand, is very accessible, with no need for a plane or extensive training. The device can be mounted anywhere from 24 meter above the ground, and participants can be ready to go after just a brief instruction on proper rider procedure. The cost of a jump with FlightLine is also much less than skydiving, making it a more affordable option.

Too Close for Comfort: The Thrill of FlightLine

Although not as high as skydiving, FlightLine is still an adrenaline-inducing thrill that will make your palms sweat and your heart race. In fact, being closer to the ground can make the experience even scarier for some participants, as the danger of jumping from a platform becomes more immediate and real when the ground is inescapably close. But with FlightLine, the participant is in control and must take that step off the platform into thin air to begin the controlled free fall jump.

Soft Catch: A Controlled Free Fall Jump

The highlight of FlightLine is the free fall drop, but what sets it apart from other free fall adventures is the soft catch afterwards. Unlike other devices, such as bungee jumping, which have notoriously jarring catches, FlightLine uses staged braking to slow the jumper, creating a comfortable, controlled free fall jump.

Building Character through Free Fall Devices

Free fall devices, such as FlightLine and QuickFlight, are more than just thrilling adventures. They can also be character-building activities for kids and adults alike. Activities that challenge us to face our fears and undertake new challenges can help build traits such as responsibility, courage, and self-reliance, and can help create positive self-esteem.

Free Fall Devices for Everyone

FlightLine and QuickFlight are fun for all ages and ability levels. With mounting heights ranging from 24 meter, there’s an option for everyone, from the mild to the wild child. And for those who may be nervous or scared, starting with a small jump and working up to bigger heights can help prepare for the experience.

Redundant webbing system: One of the biggest advantages of the QuickFlight is its dual redundant webbing system. This ensures maximum security for your jumpers, with one primary webbing backed up by an unloaded secondary webbing. And because both webbings are independently replaceable, maintenance costs are lower than any other free fall device on the market.
Flexible mounting options: The QuickFlight is incredibly easy to install, with a wide range of mounting heights and simple installation.
CE certification: For the first time ever, our QuickFlight has received CE certification. This means that all QuickFlights manufactured since January 2020 are certified to EN341 and EN360.
