Highline Safety Course
Practical and theoretical course on highline safety. Setting up a highline requires experience and a lot of specific knowledge. Both theory and practice must be well mastered. Theory can be learned from books, but practice must be repeated many times to be internalized.
Content: installation techniques and risk prevention
In the HIGH LINE SAFETY course, we will look at the theory, but above all we will do a lot of practice in order to know how to recognize the risks associated with this sport. Anchoring, tension, triaxial loads, knots, slipping, redundancy, catching, leash lifting, backup... all this and much more, in a total immersion in Highline, from dawn to dusk.
Who is the course for?
- Real beginners who have never walked on a slackline but have a good sports background (climbing, yoga,...).
- Slackliners, who already know how to walk on a slackline of at least 20 m, but who have never been on a highline before.
- Beginner highlineers, who want to gain more technical knowledge and learn safety manoeuvres.
During the day, two instructors will guide you through the most suitable exercises for the experience of the participant to make the course as focused and enjoyable as possible.
