Zip Lines! Permit?

[Buelligan]

We have a white water rafting company that wants to put a zip line across the river at one of their drop points. We feel this is not covered in the code but just want some reassurance that this is correct. Anybody ever dealt with the installation of a zip line? Thanks.

I too feel that it is not covered by the code. Would not touch it.

There's another thread here discussing Accessibility for loading and off-loading areas

They are not covered under the IBC

Not as of yet! But I understand they're looking for committee members for the next cycle.

We only let the inspector in at my nudest camp in the winter.

The link in post #3 was the post I started about a zip line tour going in. We permitted the tour as an amusement park ride. The general operation and safety protocols were established and inspected by the State. We inspected site issues, including accessiblity. I would double check the accessiblity and make sure you are compliant. If someone with a disablity would like to use this, they should be afforded the same opportunity.

IMHO Stringing a line overhead and sliding throught the trees qualifies them all as dis-abled
