Safety of Rock Walls

Safety is top priority when using rock walls. It doesn’t matter how experienced you are, safety comes first. All rock walls include a dual hydraulic auto-belay system. This insures maximum safety for wall climbers.

Both hydraulic systems would have to fail at the same exact time for a complete component failure. Dual failure is very unlikely. The hydraulic valves built into the system would still lower the climber at a safe rate of decent. Auto-belay systems use cables, not ropes that could wear out or break. This eliminates human error. Rock walls will safely accommodate up to five climbers at one time. Harnesses are another way to be safe while climbing. Properly harnessing individuals and then attaching them to the auto-belay system will insure a safe and fun climb. Helmets are not a requirement. It is totally up to the climber.
