Lots of people today build ziplines in their own backyards, and while it may be fun, it’s nothing like taking a zipline tour in Kauai! Backyard ziplines have also been in the news in recent years, and not in a good way – there have been thousands of injuries, mostly to young children. The fact is, parents or older teenagers constructing a zipline in the backyard can lead to disaster. Not only that, how exciting is it to ride a short zipline in your own backyard, an area you see every day?
Sure, it’s fun to zip through the air no matter where you are, or regardless of how short or long the ride is. The difference is that when you zipline at a commercial facility, you experience entirely different surroundings – and you have highly trained professionals to guide you and ensure your safety. In addition, a commercial zipline tour generally involves two or three (or even more) ziplines, canopy bridges, platforms, and other elements that are so much more exciting than what you can experience on your own property!
Ziplining in Kauai makes it possible to soar 80 feet or even higher through the air, above the treetops so you experience magnificent tropical surroundings, the forest, mountains, beautiful foliage, and so much more. How much do you see when you zipline in your own backyard? Not much, really – and after a while it becomes pretty monotonous. The biggest factor is that putting up your own zipline can result in serious or even fatal injuries, something you don’t want to risk. Only dedicated, knowledgeable professionals should install a zipline, and there aren’t many of those out there other than in a commercial setting.
With commercial ziplines, equipment such as cables, harnesses, platforms, and other components are inspected constantly. With trained guides providing you with all of the safety information you need and giving you focused direction, you can enjoy riding safely without the worry you might face in your own backyard. When it comes to ziplining, there are huge differences between those you put up yourself, and those designed to entertain and give guests the experience of a lifetime! At Just Live!, our goal is to help you have a fun, challenging, and exciting experience without the worries or fear you may face with an amateur zipline.
