Why are there separate weight restrictions for men and women? That seems discriminatory.

Great question Allison! Many people question the noted weight difference between guys and gals we post. We set our standards by prioritizing safety first and foremost alongside supporting scientific facts. Males have an average of 30% more muscle mass than females. It has been shown that muscle weighs significantly more. In addition, men have more upper body strength because of more muscle mass which helps with breaking on our high speed ziplines. The more you weigh, the faster one goes and the more strength it takes to brake. It is also noted that with a better muscle mass, it is easier to help in emergency type situations if any do occur. These aerial adventures are NOT rides but experiential in nature and reserved guests must be able to actively participate in them. We understand that some will not like these standards but we are committed to safety first and to being as fair as possible to all who wish to participate in our aerial adventures.

Honestly they didn't even weigh you. Some people looked too big on our tour but they were just fine.
