Zipline Weight Limits
Last Updated: September 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.
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.
