safety

Our number one concern is your safety. Having fun is second!

Our tour was designed, installed, and our guides trained by the industry leader, Experience Based Learning (EBL). EBL was the first vendor to install canopy tours (zipline) in the United States and then, first again to become a tour operator. This experience from both sides of the business curve is now part of STZ. Our tour was reviewed and wet stamped by a North Carolina licensed and insured Professional Engineer. All lines where installed to the Professional Ropes Course Association (PRCA) Canopy Tour installation standards. The PRCA is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Developer for Ropes Course and Canopy Tours. The PRCA is the only association to have governing standards for the Canopy Tour industry at this time. Current canopy tour standards have been published since 2004 and revisions and updates with ANSI are currently in development.

In addition to all the above mentioned safe guards, EBL also employed standards from the National Fire Protection Administration (NFPA) and Occupational Safety Health Act (OSHA) for pulleys and fall protection systems. This level of commitment to safety is very hard to find and we are committed to safer operations so you can focus on having a good time!

EBL is an Accredited Vendor with the PRCA specifically for Canopy / Zip Line Tours, the first, and currently only vendor in the United States to have achieved this level of professional operations.

STZ adheres to the strict safety standards set for Canopy Tours by the ANSI Accredited Professional Ropes Course Association
