Correction

Track rides are a safe alternative to homemade zip-line type of equipment.

Ground cover must be present to provide protection in the event of a fall.

Additional Guidelines and Recommendations

• Track rides require significant upper body strength and the judgment to know when it is safe to let go, so are not suitable for toddlers or preschool children.
• There are no obstacles along the path of the ride, including the take-off and landing areas.
• Two track rides next to each other must be at least 4 feet apart.
• Ride handles are 64-78 inches above the protective surfacing (ground cover).
• Rolling parts are enclosed to prevent crush hazards.
• Nothing is ever tied to any moving part of a track ride.
• Zip lines, when present on agritourism operations, must be professionally installed, inspected and maintained.
  • Check with your insurance agent before installing zip lines.
  • See local/state standards and regulations for information specific to your area.
