[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam, has implemented safety measures for Daebong Zipline, the main facility of Daebongsan Recreation Valley tourism.

According to the county, on the 24th, to strengthen the safety of Daebong Zipline, the Recreation Valley Department, which manages the facility, along with officials and the maintenance company ZipPing Korea Co., Ltd., conducted a joint on-site inspection and related meetings, enhancing safety in two areas: hardware and software of Daebong Zipline.

For hardware safety enhancement, to resolve the issue where the automatic towing device's climbing output was low during events (stops caused by braking) on the slope section of Zipline Course 4?resulting in prolonged passenger towing time due to substitution by personnel?a battery with three times the driving power (36V) compared to the existing one was installed.

The newly developed towing device can cover most event occurrence points on Daebong Zipline Course 4, with a travel distance reaching 600 meters.

Additionally, to address the early activation of safety braking caused by contraction at the carabiner attachment part of the pulley, a new type of pulley is scheduled for early deployment in early July.

For software safety enhancement, based on various domestic and international zipline accident videos, an analysis of all possible accident causes and countermeasures was explained, and one-on-one face-to-face training was conducted for staff on harness (vest-type safety belt) wearing methods and equipment operation such as pulleys.

Furthermore, the existing daily inspections (2 hours before boarding) and regular inspections (weekly and monthly) were further strengthened, and all inspection logs including safety manuals were thoroughly organized.

The county plans to secure additional safety-related budgets in the future to introduce non-destructive testing equipment such as ultrasonic detectors and to fully automate related facilities, aiming to establish a smart safety system for Daebongsan sports facilities in the long term.
