What your harness, lanyard and trolley are certified to (and why that matters)

When you clip in at Wild Pines, you’re stepping into a safety ecosystem where every part is independently certified. Your harness is built to EN 12277, the European benchmark that covers full-body harnesses for smaller participants as well as sit and chest harnesses for adults, so load is distributed properly if you slip and sit down into the kit.

Your connector hardware (the carabiner style bits that link you to the system) conforms to EN 12275, which sets rigorous strength and gate closure tests for climbing connectors. That matters because connectors take the brunt of day to day clipping, rubbing and shock forces.

Most importantly, our continuous-belay trolleys and lanyards are certified to EN 17109 the modern standard created for adventure-park safety systems. In plain English: once you’re on, you stay on, moving past obstacles without ever being “between” connections. That reduces instruction time, speeds up flow, and keeps families together especially helpful with mixed ages.

Layer that kit onto courses built and inspected to EN 15567, and you get belt and braces safety: certified PPE married to certified structures, checked routinely by trained inspectors. That’s the invisible engineering behind the big whoops you hear in the trees.
