Using advices

Ideal to connect a rope brake to the pulleys system. (Like the Grigri from Petzl)

Incompatibilities

The 8mm shackle is not resistant enough to replace a carabiner in a tensioning system. Only possible when it's to connect brake to pulley or rope to pulley
Freestyle practice aka Jumpline/trickline is not recommended at all

Do not use as industrial leverage equipment. Only slackline.

Responsability

Slacklining and particularly Highlining are sports having no legal framework or norms concerning the gear or the setup.

Consequently we cannot warranty our gear for Highlining.
Our products are tested by independent labs (Apave) and inside of our company via a process evolving with practice.

The results of those tests have no legal values, they aim to ensure the safety and comfort of using our equipment.

It is the responsibility of the slackliner to choose the right gear with adequate resistance and to have the necessary experience to adapt his installation to his practice.

Generalities

Don't rig your slackline accross a path,a road or any crossing
Don't rig your slackline higher than 2m
Ride on a grassy or soft ground, without roots or rocks
Always backup your setup
Never use ratchets for highlining
Never use urban furniture as anchor point

This equipement is absolutely not made for highlining. Find more information on our website highline.fr
