What Should You Wear Ziplining in Oregon?
Flip-flops and pouches are strict no-nos, so keep them at check-in. Most operators will have facilities to stash your stuff while you go ziplining. A loose t-shirt and pants or capris will protect your skin from abrasions. Avoid jewelry and scarves that could get tangled in the zip line systems.
Long-hair people out there, you MUST tie your long hair to prevent it from getting caught in the lines. Your hair is the most dangerous part of ziplining!
Is Ziplining Safe in Oregon?
Ziplining is an extremely safe activity in Oregon, with many operators having a 100% safety record. However, it is an outdoor activity at height, and although rare, accidents do happen. For example, in 2017, a woman fell on a homemade zipline in rural Tillamook. Always go to reputable operators with zipline courses that adhere to industry safety standards, and never try to install your own zipline.
