Description and Materials used
The “Mobile Free Fall/ Zip Combo” is a unique new attraction for all ages. The participants walk up the
tower via a staircase until reaching the top level. Once reaching the top level, participants can decide to
Free Fall or Zip line out of the rear of the tower. In both cases they are attached via a safety lanyard. The
Free Fall section comes equipped with a QuickJump Free Fall device for each station. The QuickJump
Free Fall Device is a descent device designed specifically for use as an amusement ride. Head Rush
Technologies offers a maximum descent height of 12.5m (41 ft) and is suitable for rider weights ranging
from 16 - 130 kg (35 - 285 lbs).
The design of the QuickJump Free Fall Device permits simple installation and removal and incorporates an
advanced self-regulating brake system and automatic webbing line retraction. The patented braking
mechanism offers riders an initial free fall followed by a consistent descent with a minimal variation in
descent rate of both children and adults. There are no wearing parts in the brake mechanism, ensuring
reliability remains high, while maintenance and operating costs are kept to a minimum. To protect the
longevity of the QuickJump Free Fall Device, installation, care and use of the QuickJump Free Fall Device
must be carried out in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
The Zip Line portion comes equipped with a Zip Stop brake system for each Zip Line.
The ZipSTOP is a controlled braking force device designed specifically for use in the zip line industry at
