Ziplining is a great way to see the wonders of nature in an unprecedented way that is relatively safe and fun. In addition, the speed and exhilaration one derives from moving high up a canopy of trees can be exhilarating and addictive, leading to tourists and extreme sports junkies outdoing each other when it comes to who will perform the greatest number of stunts or move the fastest down the zipline.

Zipline participants are usually asked to sign a waiver which absolves the company as well as guides of any liability should anything untoward occur, but the reality is that certain injuries as well as behavior from safety guides may invalidate these waivers or have them open to legal interpretation. Zipline injuries can vary from mild burns to concussions and even spinal cord injuries in the event that an individual falls off the zipline, and the law states that operators owe you a duty of care to keep you safe from any hazards that may cause you injury via reasonable steps to inform you of these hazards or mitigating them in a timely manner.

In the event you get injured, it can be surmised that their negligent actions may have been the proximate cause of your injuries, and to this end, they will have breached their duty of care towards you, making it possible to file a claim to recover damages that can help you rebuild your life. It is however important to note here that these claims tend to be highly contested, and operators often work in tandem with insurance companies to deny your claims due to a technicality or allege that your actions led to you sustaining injuries. To this end, it is important to work with an experienced ziplining injuries attorney, and our experienced law firm is ready to provide you with timely legal services as they relate to this issue so you can rebuild your life in as little time as possible.

Common Injuries and Causes of Ziplining Injuries

Some of the most common injuries sustained while ziplining include:

1. Rope Burn – This is perhaps the most common type of injury, and they occur when the participant comes into contact with the zip line or harness during improper braking or sudden stops. They can vary in severity from superficial skin irritation to deep tissue damage necessitating medical attention.
2. Falls – While uncommon, falls may be caused by improper harnessing, equipment failure and even inadequate or incorrect participant instruction on how to perform the activity. Falls often lead to bone fractures, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, all of which can be life-changing and require surgery and a long period of rehabilitation
3. Concussions – These occur if a participant hits their head during a collision or a fall, and symptoms may include a splitting headache, mood changes, severe dizziness and seizures, all of which can greatly impact an individual’s quality of life
4. Sprains and Strains – These occur due to awkward landings or improper body positioning during the ziplining activity, and may include tendons or joints and require medical treatment as well as physical therapy
