Slack line/Tightrope Policy
Guilford College has an obligation to provide a safe environment and protect College property. Slack lining can be dangerous if done in a reckless manner. Slack lines can also pose a risk to other students when left between trees overnight.
Any student wishing to install a slack line on campus must obtain permission from the Office for Campus Life prior to installing the slack line. Slack lines must be removed before dark on the same day as installation. Anyone failing to register a slack line or failing to remove a slack line before dark will face judicial charges pursuant to this policy and the Student Code of Conduct.
Students assume the risk of injuries associated with slack lining or tightrope walking on the Guilford College Campus. Risks of injuries include, but are not limited to, injuries sustained falling from the slack line (i.e., broken bones, fractures, dislocations, sprains, etc.), injuries sustained installing or removing the slack line, (i.e., burns, lacerations, broken bones, dislocations, sprains, etc.) and any and all injuries sustained as an observer or casual participant.
