is it safe?YES!
- It's so safe your granny could do it! It has been MONTIC’s policy to construct ride systems for excitement in the past ten years on the basis of the highest available safety standard meaning no actual risk to the participant at all. SCAD systems are built and constructed under up to date safety standards, apply to CE Norms and have all been inspected, controlled and tested by the TÜV, which is a technical safety inspection Institute with international acceptance and reputation. All suspension lines holding the SCAD device in each corner have a safety coefficient of 10. which means they can hold 10 times the maximum weight. Additionally every suspension has a separate back up, which holds in the event of a broken component. Tests hove shown, that even if one suspension came completely loose, the SCAD would still remain in position and catch the diver safely. The
system also has "Triple Redundancy" - that means that
every rope or line has a backup- and that backup also has a backup! The
landing in the net is so soft, that the diver does not feel any
impact and the maximum G-force for a very light person is only
4 G, which is below the
International Amusement Ride Standards, it is the only thrill ride
that combines thrill with a maximum of comfort. There are no
distracting elements or uncomfortable force exposures. Experience has proven, that SCAD Diving is an activity which has a much higher safety degree than comparable rides, as the risk of human error is completely erased. No parts of the system can be changed or altered during operation. The
special release system to enable the Controlled Free Fall (CFF) was
developed over a period of two years and has been free of failure
ever since. All participants connect to the CFF (Controlled Free
Fall) system. The CFF harness warrants, that the correct body
position is maintained during the entire free fall to ensure a
comfortable and safe landing. Panic or deliberate attempts to turn
or spin the body out of this position are impossible,
