The SmartSnap™ device is used to prevent users from becoming unclipped from the line at any time. Accidental detachment from safety systems is particularly relevant at transfer points – where there is a high risk of the user being exposed to a fall. But engineering technology has the answer…
The SmartSnap™ has a simple Snaphook design which incorporates a clever key locking mechanism. Once locked in, the user cannot become detached from the line, unless released by the course Supervisor, using the ‘Supervisor’ key.
The main body of the SmartSnap™ is made from High Strength Aluminium. Stainless Steel wear inserts protect the body from contact with the wire– these inserts are easily replaceable. Extended trials on various courses around the world have shown that the SmartSnap™ can cope with extreme use. The ‘Wire’ and ‘Ring’ keys (which are fitted at each transfer point), are made from Solid Stainless Steel, so they are difficult to bend or break and can be left outside during the season.
The SmartSnap™ device is serviceable, and all main wear parts are replaceable. The device is suitable for use on 9– 13mm wire.
The SmartSnap™ is really simple to use and therefore doesn’t require in depth user training; it is lightweight and therefore is perfectly suitable for children to use; and it has been designed so that it is easy to retro-fit to an existing course.
The SmartSnap™ is a perfect product for Course owners who recognise the need to improve safety on their course without breaking the bank.
“We love the SmartSnap system because it embodies two critical values that are central to our operating ethos; it provides 100% tie-off security by disallowing unintentional disconnection from the belay system, while also retaining participant involvement in the transfer process. It’s an ingenious product and is the standard belay system we use for our ZIPStream® brand of aerial adventure parks “.
