As the leader in adventure tourism and zipline innovation, we are proud to introduce the EZLaunch System, an advanced safety solution designed to reduce operator error, enhance zipline customer safety, and lower operational costs. This cutting-edge technology offers zipline operators a proactive way to improve safety while potentially reducing insurance premiums.

Enhancing Zipline Safety in a Growing Industry

The zipline industry is rapidly expanding, but safety remains a critical concern.

Data provided by Granite Insurance shows that collisions (between guests, guests and staff, guests and obstacles, etc.) account for 18% of all participant injury claims in the Zipline and Adventure course industry, averaging $247,894 per claim.

Skyline Ziplines’ EZLaunch System directly addresses this challenge by integrating a dual-operator safety protocol and automated safeguards, significantly reducing the risk of human error.

How the EZLaunch System Improves Zipline Safety

The EZLaunch System introduces a streamlined launch process that enhances communication and mitigates human error. Key features include:

Dual-Verification Workflow – Both launch and landing operators must activate “ready” signals before a zipliner is dispatched, ensuring all safety measures are met.
Automated Alerts – Visual and audible indicators (flashing/solid yellow STATE indicators) help operators follow each step with clarity, reducing miscommunication.
Controlled Activation – A centralized red LAUNCH button prevents premature dispatches and ensures synchronized operations.

By automating key safety protocols, the EZLaunch System reduces common manual errors, such as early launches or unprepared landings, enhancing guest safety.

Lowering Zipline Insurance Costs with EZLaunch

Skyline Ziplines and Granite Insurance have formed a strategic partnership to encourage the adoption of the EZLaunch System. Facilities implementing this technology may be eligible for insurance premium reductions of up to 15%—a significant financial incentive for zipline operators. However, eligibility is subject to Granite Insurance’s evaluation.

Quick Installation and Remote Operation

Designed for efficiency, the EZLaunch System is:

Lightweight and Durable – Easily mounted with minimal setup requirements.
Single-Cable Connection – Connects to the E-Launcher for seamless operation.
Battery-Powered – Runs on an 18V power tool battery, making it ideal for remote and off-grid locations.

This plug-and-play installation ensures that resorts and adventure parks can upgrade their safety infrastructure without complex modifications.

A Commitment to Safer Zipline Adventures

As ski resorts and adventure parks expand their year-round offerings, zipline safety remains a top priority. According to Noah Smith, Vice President of Skyline Ziplines, the industry must take proactive steps:

“Avoidable accidents tarnish the industry’s reputation. With EZLaunch, we’re giving operators the tools to protect guests and their bottom line.”

For zipline operators looking to enhance safety, streamline operations, and explore insurance savings, Skyline Ziplines and Granite Insurance offer a game-changing solution.
