1. WARNING! THE SLACKLINE CAN BE A DANGEROUS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT EVEN WHEN
USED PROPERLY:

PARENTS OF MINORS AND MINORS: Minors should not use the slackline unless they are under
constant competent adult supervision. Make sure that the slackline is only installed in areas where
minors cannot access the slackline without such adult supervision. Minors should never use the
ratchet or adjust the tension of the slackline at any time.

The slackline was developed solely for use by one adult at a time to improve his or her balance
by slowly walking across the slackline over a flat, even and soft landing area clear of obstacles,
people, projections, or nearby hazards. The slackline must only be used in the manner described in
this Manual.
USING A SLACKLINE CAN BE A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY THAT MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
AND/OR DEATH EVEN WHEN USED PROPERLY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND ALWAYS USE
COMMON SENSE.

• Make sure that the slackline is attached only to anchors as described in section 3.1 below.

• Do NOT attach the slackline to any anchor point that is not fixed or too weak to safely anchor
and use the slackline. For example, do NOT attach the slackline to one or more cars,

and soft. You will be stepping and perhaps falling onto it!

• Do NOT set the slackline at any height above 18 inches (50 centimeters).

• Make sure there are no obstacles, hazards, people, or projections near the slackline that
could injure you in a fall. Only use the slackline at locations without any nearby hazards and/
or dangers.
