Safety

Screaming Ziplines by EBLNC, LLC. are committed to your safety. Through rigorous design and numerous successful zip experiences to date, you can be assured a safe and worry free experience. Our tour is regularly inspected and our staff is trained with your safety as our top priority.

No HAND BRAKING Required!

Hand braking courses have numerous inherent risks which EBL courses avoid; smashed fingers from grabbing in front of the pulley, failure to properly brake, over braking, entanglement issues with hair or clothing, etc.

All EBL courses, including Screaming Ziplines, are designed and professionally engineered stamped for strength, integrity, and use the passive gravity brake approach to slowing down patrons.  Where required, Certified Guides by a PRCA  EBL Accredited Vendor, stand ready with a secondary braking system, just in case a patron is traveling a little faster than desired.

No patron that we know of have ever smashed their fingers or had an entanglement issue on an EBL course.  These injuries are mostly found on other hand braking courses.

One Cable or Two?

If engineered and maintained, single cable ziplines are fine. Here at EBL, we prefer to install single Zipline cables. That said, we also use a half inch cable, not the thinner cable as on most tours. So our "system" is engineered by professional engineers to 26,600 pounds. And in some cases double cables have caused problems. Another issue is that usually with double cables, you as the guest are required to hand brake. We don't have our guests hand brake!

You may find it interesting to know that we have installed in the states some 22 projects ( currently in Orlando on project 23), all single cables, up to a half mile long, with over some 4 million zip experiences since 2002 and have had no problems with breaking cables or dropped guests. You can think of it this way, if you have your kids go swimming, are water wings on their arms safer that one USCG approved life jacket to prevent drowning? At EBL, for example, we are the licensed life jacket and there is no need to wear two jackets to be any safer.  

Behind the scenes…

EBL has been purposeful with our design and selection of harness systems, including your safety lanyards, helmet, pulley, and the training curriculum that the guides receive. Our methods have been proven sound by experience, destructive testing of our product line and professionally reviewed and installed to licensed Professional Engineer specifications. When you participate on an EBL canopy tour, thousands of hours behind the scenes have been devoted to keeping your experience safe. We are committed to safer operations and continually work within the adventure industry to bring new technologies online to enhance your experiences.

In addition to your safety, we are committed to being "green" by implementing minimum-impact practices from construction site pathways, geographical considerations for pathways such as erosion and ground compaction, to arborist approved tree trimming and construction designs of our engineered platforms. When you are standing in a platform, 65 feet off the ground, you want to know the craftsmanship is top notch. If it is an EBL course, it is.

Next time you research a canopy tour for your vacation, ask if it is an EBL tour. This is your assurance of a quality tour experience.
