In addition to having harness for use in a zipline, there are some other safety equipment options that you may wish to consider. Some climbers will take advantage of helmets or protective headgear in order to avoid a concussion if they bump into something or fall. Many climbers will also have some sort of thick gloves to ensure that they can easily stop.



Ziplines rely on gravity to make you travel, so your stopping mechanism, unless there's a formal pulley system, is often your hands and arms. To avoid hurting your hands, gloves are a great and cheap option. However, ensure that they're appropriate for zipline use, as you don't want to acquire injuries from wearing inappropriate clothing.



Always keep in mind the fact that ziplines, while fun, are quite a serious piece of leisure equipment. They may require the user to have a substantial knowledge of ropework. While this may not be the case for smaller set ups such as horizonal ziplines or ziplines that are quite small such as flying foxes, longer ziplines can be quite demanding. You may wish to ensure that you have been trained in using your zipline equipment properly, and that you know how to assist a person in need of help if the need arises. However, with the appropriate safety equipment, such as zipline harnesses and other protective gear, you'll no doubt find that you'll settle quickly enough into the world of climbing, abseiling, and ziplines. Buy or rent your zipline harness, and enjoy the ride.
