Is It Safe And/Or Are You Certified?
We are the first company in Guilford County, NC to build a zip line tour. Most states don’t even have a building code that covers zip lines. We wanted to set the Gold Standard and exceed the international standards set forth by the ACCT and build it under the guidelines of the IBC building code. The course at Kersey Valley has 100% structural engineered sky towers and electrical engineered lighting protection system for safety. Every tower and platform has been designed by an engineer and stamped, then inspected by a second engineering company. Guilford County has approved the building of the towers under the IBC 2009 building code and the NC Department of Labor recommendations.
The towers are constructed with massive class 2 utility poles instead of using live trees and all our sky decks even have handrails. The harnesses are full body, which is OSHA approved. We require helmets and at no time are you allowed to turn upside down or be bounced on the line. All hardware used in the design of the course is custom made for the challenge course industry, not what you can buy at your local hardware store. The course and all flight captains must be certified yearly by ACCT and the Red Cross at the CPR/PR level, the international standard for zip line tours.
