The purpose of identifying the nine most common mistakes seen on high-speed zip lines is to eliminate them. From an operational standpoint, addressing these factors is critical because doing so will significantly decrease participant risk.

The fortunate byproduct of fixing these mistakes—or preventing them in the first place—is that you will also dramatically improve throughput, rider satisfaction, and overall profitability.

Mitigating risk should be your highest priority, followed closely by increasing the rider experience and optimizing your commercial returns.
