We take safety very seriously at Zero Gravity. Here are some things you'll
be glad to know:
Bungee
jumping is done from a seven-story permanent platform designed especially
for bungee jumping. We use a triple safety system that includes:
- Super-elastic bungee
cords - our bungee cords are so elastic they give you a ride that is much
smoother than an ordinary rollercoaster ride.
- Nylon safety backup
straps - the safety straps are strong enough that they would catch you even
with no bungee cord attached.
- A professional stuntman
airbag underneath you - the air bag is rated for a fall even greater than
the height of the tower.
The Texas
Blastoff uses four strong bungee cords attached to two steel towers. Each
cord has a nylon safety backup woven into it. You are strapped into real racing
seats affixed to a steel ring. Even your feet are strapped in to provide the
smoothest launch.
On our Nothin'
but Net the patented release system insures that you land on your back –
even if you try to twist or turn. The landing is so smooth you will hardly notice
it. When you land there are actually two Nets, one under the other, and each
corner has a safety backup.
The Skycoaster uses ultra-strong steel cables and professional hanggliding harnesses. You pull
your own ripcord whenever you are ready.
