Head Rush Technologies Launches New Zip Line Brake

BOULDER, Colo. - March 6, 2014 - PRLog -- BOULDER, Colorado (March 6, 2014) – Head Rush Technologies announces the launch of the zipSTOP IR Zip Line Brake (http://store.headrushtech.com/zipstop-ir-p/zsir150-20a.htm).  The zipSTOP IR is a more streamlined version of the company’s popular zip line brake, the zipSTOP. The "IR" stands for internal reduction, meaning that the device does not require an external reduction line system. This device can accommodate speeds up to 37 mph (60 kph) without the need for a reduction line system, making installation easier.  The price of the zipSTOP IR is $4,900 and orders can be placed at store.headrushtech.com.  The company will begin shipping the devices in May 2014.

“We are excited to provide this new option for zip line builders and operators,” said Candie Fisher, CEO of Head Rush Technologies (http://headrushtech.com/technology/).  “Our zipSTOP Zip Line Brake has been very well received as the leading commercial zip line brake in the industry.  We are happy to provide a more streamlined option to simplify installation and operation.”

Like the zipSTOP, the zipSTOP IR uses eddy current magnetic braking to offer zip line operators consistent and smooth braking with automatic reset.  The zipSTOP greatly reduces the risk of human error for zip line operators and provides an improved customer experience.
