Safety Equipment

State-of-the-art equipment is used on our abseiling to provide the utmost safety and comfort of our guests. This equipment is required for all participants abseiling.

		HARNESS Also called “Seat Harness”, these harnesses provide the utmost safety with adjustable comfort. These seat harnesses are an industry standard. The webbing that the harness is made of has a tensile breaking trength of 5000 lb (22.3kN)
	CHEST HARNESS For use in conjunction with a seat harness, the chest harnesses keeps you upright while on the rope and provides you with a full body harness. This is something that Abseil Fiji has incorporated into our equipment to provide extra safety. Chest harnesses have a 5000 lb (22.3kN) tensile breaking strength.

	CARABINEERS Multiple carabineers are used in conjunction with other course equipment to secure participants. Carabiners are made by multiple companies within the industry. All of our carabiners have over 5000 lb (22.3kN) tensile breaking strength.
	HELMETS Helmets are designed to protect the head from objects dropped from above and to serve as a barrier from bumps and abrasions.
	INDUSTRIAL GLOVES These gloves are used to provide safety and for braking on the rope.
