All activities have inherent risks. Our course is designed to mitigate these risks and meets applicable zip-line standards.
Rugaru guides are trained, and certified for your safety and enjoyment. This training consists of multi-day, hands-on instruction including safety and rescue. Prior to certification, guides must pass a written assessment test, an on-course practical assessment and rescue assessment.
Our zip lines and safety equipment are inspected periodically per state and industry standards and zip lines use a state-of-the-art automatic braking system to further ensure the safety of our guest.
