The Risk and Responsibilities of Rafting & Zipline Canopy Tours
While Wildwater Ltd., Nantahala Gorge Canopy Tours, & the managing agencies set a minimum age and/or weight for trips, you must also evaluate your own fitness level. Participating in outdoor activities involves inherent risks, and can be physically demanding. All Guests go at their own risk and are required to sign a waiver of liability. Participants should be in good health, be comfortable in water if rafting, and be able to walk up grades or numerous stairs. You cannot go if you are pregnant. Alcohol and illegal drugs are not allowed on or immediately prior to trips. We will remove from the trip anyone under the influence of these substances, and no refund will be made. You will be assisting in paddling and carrying rafts and equipment if rafting, and must assist in controlling your speed if ziplining. If you are seriously overweight or have special medical conditions, you should consult your physician before rafting or ziplining.
