Slackline Accident and Injury Reports (SAIR)
Together with the International Slackline Association, we’re gathering data on slackline gear failures, rigging mistakes, near misses, injuries and other incidents. This data helps us evaluate common failure modes and typical injuries and offer advice to help keep our community safe. Additionally, statistics go a long way in convincing cities that slacklining is safe and helping insurance agents evaluate slacklining as a sport for business and performance purposes.
Please help us out by submitting a report for any accident / injury / or near miss where you were involved and pass on this information to others.
Slackline Accident and Injury Report Form
The report form is short. If you have photos related to a report, these can be emailed to us at sair@slackline.us.
