Risk Acknowledgment and Disclaimer

For your safety: You must read this document before signing.

Over-18s are required to complete their own form; under-18s must have a parent/guardian (or adult with authority from the parent/guardian) sign on their behalf.

If you are signing this form on behalf of someone who is under 18 then it is assumed you are the parent/guardian and wish this/these child/ren to participate on the swing. If you are not the parent/guardian of this/these child/ren then it is assumed that you have authority from the parent/guardian to sign this form of acknowledgment.

The swing is an adventurous activity and, as such, may not suit everyone. You must be relatively fit and healthy to participate. If you suffer from any of the conditions listed below you must circle as appropriate and make us aware at this point. We will then help you decide whether you should continue. If you wish to discuss any condition in private please let your Instructor know. It is also recommended that you do not participate if you are more than 3 months pregnant.

Epilepsy; Fits or blackouts; Severe & recurrent disabling giddiness; Vertigo, Heart condition other than innocent heart murmur; High blood pressure requiring medication.

  • We take your safety very seriously. However, participation on the swing is an adventurous activity; you will be dropped from a height of 15m and will face forces up to 2G at its peak. As such there is always the risk of injury. By signing this form you are acknowledging this risk and agreeing to participate.
  • Your instructor will give you a safety brief. The same points are covered on the back of this form. By signing this form you acknowledge that you: 1) Have understood the brief; 2) Agree to abide by the rules of the swing; 3) Will comply with the advice of your Instructor at all times.
  • Because of the risk of objects falling from height you will be required to empty your pockets.
  • Loose jewellery should also be removed and hair should be tied up. Bags should be left behind. Hangloose Adventure takes no responsibility for the security of your possessions.
  • Shoes must be secure and suitable although it is acceptable to participate barefooted or in socks!
  • The Instructor is required to balance the load evenly along the bar. This means that it may not be possible for you to participate in your group although we will try our best to accommodate! Ultimately the Instructor will determine in which order you/your group participates.

Safety Brief

The swing experience is an adventurous activity and you should be relatively fit and active to participate.

All participants will be weighed, have their weight written on their wristband and are required to understand and sign the Risk Acknowledgment and Disclaimer.

All pockets must be emptied. Glasses must be covered by goggles which we will provide. Loose jewellery should be removed or taped and long hair must be tied back. Harnesses cannot go against bare skin and we cannot allow participants to ride the swing with loose shoes, although participating barefoot or in socks is acceptable.

An Instructor will talk you through how to put on the harness and any other safety equipment, this will then be checked by an Instructor. Please do not adjust anything yourself or tamper with any of the equipment you’ve been given.

Please do not enter the swing area until invited to do so by an Instructor.

An Instructor will assist you in climbing over or under the swing seat and will then clip you in. You will be shown where you may hold the bar. Children under 16 must hold on at all times. Over 16s may go hands free, but if you wish to hold on you must do so only at the marked areas. Holding on anywhere else or inserting digits or limbs into the backup loops or mounting points may cause serious injury.

Once the Instructor has clipped you in you will be asked to sit onto swing seat at the same time as the other participants.

When the swing has finished you will be asked to stand back up onto the gondola. Please wait to be unclipped by an instructor and shown out of the swing area.

If you carry any specialist medication (e.g. Inhaler, Epipen/Adrenalin etc.) or have any special requirements please speak to an Instructor.
