Footwear: Wear secure, closed-toe shoes with good grip, such as sneakers or hiking boots. Sandals, flip-flops, and slip-ons are strictly forbidden because they can fly off mid-air.
Clothing: Opt for comfortable, athletic clothing. Long shorts or pants are best because the harness straps wrap tightly around your thighs and waist, which can cause friction against bare skin. Avoid dresses, skirts, or baggy clothes.
Hair & Accessories: Tie long hair securely back in a low ponytail so it does not get tangled in the pulley mechanism. Remove all loose jewelry and dangling items.
Glasses: If you wear prescription glasses or sunglasses, bring a secure strap to tie them to your head, or leave them with the ground crew.
Cameras, Phones, & Gear
Securing Devices: Do not attempt to hold a phone or camera in your hand. You will drop it. Only bring action cameras, such as a GoPro, if they are attached to a secure chest mount or helmet strap.
Pockets: Ensure all pockets are zipped shut. Any loose items like coins, keys, or phones will slide out when you tilt backward in the harness.
Lockers: Most sites provide small lockers or a secure holding area for your backpacks, purses, and valuables while you are on the line.
Weight Limits: Operators enforce both minimum and maximum weight limits for tandem rides to ensure the pulley system operates safely. On single-cable tandems, the combined weight cannot exceed a certain limit (usually 140 kg - 180 kg). Always check the exact limits before booking.
Age Restrictions: While great for kids, most operators require participants to be at least 6 to 8 years old. Young children are always paired with an adult or a professional guide.
Health and Medical Conditions: You should not ride if you are pregnant, have a severe heart condition, or suffer from neck, back, or spinal injuries.
