Physical Conditions

Participants must be in adequate physical and mental condition to perform this activity. AVENTURA Nature Adventure LLC reserves the right to deny access to the circuits or to interrupt performing the challenge in the case of any person not meeting the minimum safety requirements (obviously under the effect of alcohol, failure to observe the safety rules, etc.)

Authorisation of circuits for a higher difficulty level

Authorisation for access to a circuit of a “higher difficulty level” shall be given exclusively by the monitors after observing your ability on the “lower” circuits.

Acceptance of conditions

You accept without restriction the conditions and participation and safety. You accept that it is compulsory to wear the safety equipment provided throughout the performance of the activity.

Basic Safety Rules

  • The function of the monitors is to supervise, give advice to participants, and to intervene (assistance in case of difficulty).
  • The compulsory introduction course given to all participants by these monitors enables the participants to be completely autonomous and for them to be responsible for their own safety. During the course, the following safety rules shall be taught:

Obligations

  • To keep the safety equipment (harness, carabiners, etc) always well fastened.
  • There may not be more than three participants on each platform and three in each challenge, except on the ziplines.
  • Use the pulley for the ziplines and only for this purpose.
  • Anyone with long hair must keep it tied up.
  • Do not carry coins, mobile phones, or any other metal object in pockets if the pocket cannot be completely closed.

Specific Case of Descending Ziplines

Recommendations – Respect for Others

  • Gloves are optional. These can be rented for AED15 or purchased for AED40.
  • Adopt the launching position as instructed by the monitor, and maintain it until you reach the other end.
  • Never launch yourself on the zipline if there is another person coming onto the arrival platform.
  • Make sure that the zipline is completely unoccupied before launching yourself.

Recommendations – Safety

  • Never place your hands in front of the pulley or touch the cable whilst in movement.
  • Make sure the pulley is fixed properly to the cable.
  • The use of a helmet is optional, and if used, you should keep the straps well fastened.

Signposting

Signposting (pictograms, colour markings on cables) at the exit of each challenge indicates its level of difficulty. Therefore you are advised to follow the indications given for performing the circuits in the best conditions of comfort and safety.

Responsibility of Participants

All participants are asked to be respectful and responsible using the challenges.

AVENTURA shall not be held liable for any damage to or loss of your personal belongings. It is advisable to be in good physical form and it is recommended you make short breaks between each challenge, and rest sufficiently between each circuit.

Tree-to-tree adventure parks can attract a large number of people, but certain participants who have incorrectly estimated their own ability level can become a hazard on a cable or a platform, whether due to dizziness, uneasiness or due to injury. Other participants therefore, who become aware of the situation, should cope with a possible imminent danger to the person “floundering” on the challenge (fall or injuries), giving direct help to any persons in danger and advising others (the monitors) of the need to intervene. There are always two interpretations of good judgment: witnesses must be aware of the danger and they are not obliged to intervene if this poses a risk to themselves or to the victim.

AVENTURA cannot be held liable for any incidents arising from the practice of these activities if the above-listed conditions of participation are accepted under false pretenses, if the safety rules are not observed, or in the case of panic of one or more participants.

If a guest decides to loosen his/her harness, he/her must be checked by the monitors for it to be correctly readjusted.

Guests and visitors may not leave the paths laid out, in order to prevent any deterioration of the forest.
