Age and Weight Restrictions
All participants must be aged 18 or over, unless they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian (a minimum age of 14 then applies). A teacher or youth leader acting in loco parentis is not adequate. The parent or legal guardian must complete a Parental Consent Form prior to the event and will need to remain within sight and earshot of the minor – this will normally mean that they need to be with the minor whilst they prepare and accompany their child as is reasonably practicable during their participation.
We do not recommend an upper age limit for participation although we would recommend that older individuals consult their doctor if they have any concerns about their health or ability.
We can accommodate people up to 20 stone in weight, but no more due to the restrictions on equipment and loads exerted, although they may need to be fitted with extra equipment for their comfort. If you have anyone wishing to take part who is heavier than 20 stone you can contact us as soon as possible to discuss the possibility of their participation.
Fitness
You don't need to be very fit to abseil but you do need to have a reasonable level of mobility unless otherwise stated by the event organisers. Being able to walk quickly up a flight of stairs, jump a foot off the ground and climb over obstacles such as fences unaided, would be a good example of mobility needed. If you have any doubt about your fitness / mobility to participate in abseil event you have chosen, please consult the abseil organisers first and then your doctor if needed.
Dave Talbot Ltd reserves the right to prevent any person or persons, from participating in the event if;
- their build be deemed unsuitable for the activity
- they are found to be behaving inappropriately or in a manner that is detrimental to the safe provision of the event.
