SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
We only use equipment that complies with internationally approved UIAA standards and whose safety factor has a much greater durability than the load on the equipment. All our equipment is modernized and replaced in a timely manner. We ensure double security by using each of our equipment in pairs. We also double-check each piece of equipment: while one instructor prepares for the jump, the other checks it. Thus, the risk of making mistakes is eliminated and we provide you with double insurance. Your safety is our priority!
We prefer solid rocks as main connection points. We drill holes in them for expansion or adhesive anchors. We fix the basic contours and connection points by making them double. We always use protectors for base stations. We check the entire system before the event. When everything is ready, we rope off a loaded test bag AKA "Ibrahim", from the cliff. Team members then step in to check the robustness of the system. In this way, the system becomes completely suitable for use and we offer a safe flight experience!
Entrust your life and health only to professionals!
