The zipline uses two cables which are entirely independent of each other, which are rated at 14,400 pounds tensile strength. The cables are multi-wrapped around a primary anchor supported with multiple 'typhoon-rated' guy wires attached to deadman anchors and is infused with a multiple redundant safety system that includes a backup system to ensure rider's absolute safety and protection.

The three-break system consists of the primary, secondary, and fail-state break system at the end of the zipline to reduce any risk. The Xcelerator is certified by a U.S. instructor and uses 12 connection points with a comprehensive backup safety system, while the highest certified zipline in the U.S. uses only six connection points with no backup system.
