Our goal at Skywalker is to help create the best rider experiences and to improve operations for climbing facilities, adventure providers, and zip line operators. The zipSTOP Zip Line brake came to be when we saw an opportunity to create a braking experience that is hands-free for the rider while also easy and efficient for zip line guides.

As safety continues to be a top priority in zipline adventures, zipline operators are always on the lookout for the latest safety technology to incorporate into their operations. One such technology that has gained increasing popularity is the Zipline Emergency Arrest Device (EAD). In this article, we'll explore the intricacies of EADs, how they work, their benefits, and why they are essential for zipline safety.

One of our primary goals is to help mitigate risk in the zip line industry and increase education on the use of our products. With these goals in mind, we have published a new white paper on Additional Information Regarding EADs. This white paper answers some of the most common questions we received regarding our previous Emergency Arrest Device (EAD) White Paper and clarifies our stance on EADs for lines using the zipSTOP Zip Line Brake.

Ziplining is an exciting outdoor activity that has been enjoyed by people of all ages for years. As technology advances, new inventions have been made to make this activity more enjoyable and safer for people. One of the latest innovations in ziplining is the self-braking magnetic zipline trolley. This new trolley has the potential to revolutionize the zipline industry, making it easier and safer for people to enjoy this thrilling activity.

Zipline rides have become increasingly popular over the years, offering a thrilling experience for adventure enthusiasts. However, the safety of these rides has been a concern, especially when it comes to the braking system. Traditional braking systems such as hand brakes or self-braking systems are often unreliable, leading to accidents and injuries. This is where magnetic zipline braking technology comes in - a revolutionary new approach that promises to provide a safe, reliable, and thrilling ride for zipline enthusiasts.

The zipSTOP and zipSTOP IR Zip Line Brakes whare developed to create a comfortable, reliable primary brake that improves the rider experience and zip line throughput. Even though the zipSTOP is extremely reliable, we recognize that a zipSTOP is only one component of a complete and proper zip line brake system, which is a component within the overall zip line ride. Each component within the overall ride must be installed, tested, and inspected to meet industry regulations and component installation instructions.

The zipBACK Auto Retract mechanism quickly returns the pulley cart back to the top of the zip wire. Once riders are unhooked, the Auto-Retract system returns the trolley back to the top of the line in just a couple of seconds ready for the next rider. This helps to maintain a high level of throughput and ensures operating is as smooth and easy for staff as possible. No winches to activate, no need to remove trolleys, and no need to worry about lowering devices, all of which slow down throughput.
