Why an Operation Review Could Be the Most Valuable Step You Take This Year

An Operation Review is one of the most effective ways to strengthen your challenge course or aerial adventure park operations. While most incidents today don’t come from broken equipment, they do often stem from human factors — unclear policies, training gaps, or inconsistent supervision.

In this article, we break down what an Operation Review actually involves, why ANSI/ACCT Standards require one every five years, and the most common issues we’ve seen across the industry this season. From strengthening inspection systems, to building risk management programs, to keeping staff training sharp all year long, an Operation Review can help you reduce risks and create a culture of safety and consistency.

If it’s been more than five years since your last review — or if you’ve never had one — now is the time. Read the full article to learn how an Operation Review can set your program up for a safer, smoother, and more successful season.
