Slacklining

Slacklining is an activity that involves stretching nylon webbing between two anchor points at different heights for the purpose of walking across and doing stunts.  Slacklining is acceptable on campus if the following requirements are met:

  1. Slacklining is permitted between sunrise and sunset and only at the designated slacklining posts on campus.

  2. Participants and spectators assume any and all risk associated with this activity. For participants, the risks include, but are not limited to, death, paralysis, and serious injury. Participants and spectators take full responsibility for following this section and best safety practices within this activity.

  3. All slacklines may be affixed on a temporary basis while in use, and slacklines must be removed when not in use. The owner of the Slacklining equipment is responsible for setting up and taking down the equipment by sunset each day and may not leave equipment unattended. Unattended Slacklining equipment may be removed and stored without notice.

  4. All equipment associated with the practice of Slacklining should be maintained in an operable and safe condition. This is the sole responsibility of the participants to ensure.

  5. The slackline may not be elevated to a height of more than four (4) feet at the center of the span.

  6. Slackline equipment can only be connected to slacklining poles at designated locations on campus. 

  7. Slacklines may not be attached to college buildings, signs, handrails, light poles, fences, trees or other non-designated structures on campus.

  8. Slacklines must not obstruct intended uses of campus sidewalks, buildings, paths, fences, or light poles.

  9. Any damage to campus property from any slacklining activity due to participant’s negligence, improper set-up, reckless or careless activity, or failure to adhere to College rules may result in participant liability and incur all costs associated with restoration of campus property as well as restriction from future use.
