Why Now?
The dramatic proliferation of Ropes Course equipment for recreational purposes in the last few years has been fuelled by demographic changes and lifestyle trends:
- increases in disposable income in the 18-35 age group to whom this appeals
- trends towards interactive participative leisure increasing use of outdoor activity pursuits for health benefits
- an adrenaline culture - demand from the public for adventure activities that are perceived to be dangerous, but are in fact quite safe.
These trends have coincided with major technological developments that now make Leisure Adventure Ropes Courses - ie open to the public - a safe and profitable diversification or high profile flag-waver for land-owners and activity centres.
