Focus!  If you have poor balance and are afraid of heights, then just move on.  Slacklining is not for you.  Even though you are tethered to the slackline, somehow the mind loses track of that fact when you are hundreds of meters in the air.  Today, height and distance records exceed 2 km (1.2 miles) at a height over 200 meters (660 feet). There are four main disciplines including waterlining, highlining, longlining and tricklining.

FICOR Score

(Fatality & Injury Classification of Risk)

Discipline : Highlining
Severe Injury Rate of 1: X Participants

FICOR score is based on XDGE's proprietary scoring system

Minimum score to be considered for XDGE is 50, and the maximum is 100. This FICOR score is based on available data combined with XDGE's proprietary scoring system which weights several factors based on importance, including: insurance risk scores for the particular activity being evaluated, reaction time available as an adverse event unfolds, speed, height, depth, technical difficulty, ability to mitigate risk during activity, availability of backup equipment, involvment of other participants, location of activity, mental focus required, outcome resulting of most mishaps such as death or hospitalization, and a determination of the likelihood of having a major accident if that sport is done frequently.
