Zipline Weight Limits
Reviewed by the Seeking Adrenaline team · Updated Oct 27, 2026

Zipline tours post a minimum and a maximum weight because the brake and the harness are rated. Many commercial courses publish a minimum and a maximum somewhere in the 50–70 lb to 250–280 lb neighborhood. Some yards sit tighter. Seeking Adrenaline does not set those numbers. Use the line on that official website.
For everything else a first-timer asks, see our zipline guide.
Quick Facts
- Min and max both exist
- The scale at check-in is not optional at many yards
- Exceeding the max is a turn-around, often no refund
- Kids miss the minimum more often than adults expect
Why the Max Exists
The trolley and brake are built for a range. Over it is not a negotiation.
Why the Min Exists
Too light and you may not finish the line or sit the harness correctly.
FAQ
Can I wear a weighted vest to make min? Ask them before you pay. Do not invent a workaround in the lot.
