Introduction to EAD Brakes and Spring Brakes for zipSTOP Systems
Emergency Arrest Devices (EADs) are a critical safety feature for zip lines, designed to engage automatically if the primary braking system fails. According to ACCT standards, an EAD is mandatory for zip lines where arrival speeds exceed 6 mph (10 kph) and where there is a risk of harmful contact with terrain, objects, or people. These devices act independently of the primary brake, ensuring rider safety by preventing serious injury or death in emergency situations.
Spring brakes are an excellent choice for use as EADs when paired with the advanced magnetic braking technology of the zipSTOP system. Designed as large metal coils, spring brakes compress upon impact to absorb kinetic energy and bring riders to a controlled stop. Their simplicity, reliability, and ease of installation make them an ideal complement to zipSTOP brakes. Together, these systems create a robust, fail-safe braking setup that ensures smooth operation and maximum safety on any zip line course.
