Our high ropes courses meet the European standards for high rope courses (EN-15567) and the ERCA standards.
Insight Out is active member (represented by managing director Holger Bickschäfer) of the expert group of the ERCA
o for the inspection of ropes courses
o for adventure parks
o for training certification.

Each high ropes course is planned individually.
For every high ropes course an individual safety manual is created, containing a description of maintenance to be carried out, tests, contingency plans and safety regulations.
Steel cables are, wherever possible and appropriate, hydraulically pressed instead of connected with wire rope clips.
Our crimps are TÜV-tested and inspected regularly.
We only use high-quality steel cables from German production, with extra strong outer strands against early abrasion and fractured strands by using extra strong galvanizing against corrosion.
Load bearing station ropes are made from Hercules rope and pressed. They are thus
ο Skip-proof even in the rain
ο Thicker than steel cables
ο Visually appealing
ο Comfortable to touch
non-load-bearing station ropes are made of weather-resistant synthetic fiber rope, resembling hemp in appearance.
Our station ropes are not knotted, but visually beautiful spliced or pressed.
For constructions we only use weather-resistant timber such as larch, Douglas fir and black locust, with no need for special impregnation. As well, we use methods of constructive timber protection.
By request, the wood can be glazed in color.
We work tree-protective with wooden spacers and pressure distributing tree pads, which are placed between the wood and bark or with bolts drilled through the tree.
A thesis of FH Osnabruck has shown that tree damage caused by pressing the platforms can be reduced by the use of pressure pads.
Our employees are trained and certified industrial climbers and qualified for personal protective equipment.
