Use a wrist strap or leave small cameras in a locker—ziplines move fast and lost gear is common.

Hydrate and time your run
Book a morning slot to avoid mid-afternoon heat and humidity; carry a reusable water bottle for between lines.

Tell guides about recent injuries or pregnancy—some activities and positions are not recommended for safety.
