A continuous assist braking and control system (10) operable to control the movement, speed and acceleration of a zipline rider (32) traversing a zipline (12). A brake line (40) is entrained around first and second reels (50, 52), and suspended above the zipline (12). The rider (32) is tethered to the brake line (40). A brake (56) is coupled to at least one of the reels (50, 52). When the brake (56) is disengaged, the brake line (40) is pulled along with the rider (32) as the rider (32) traverses the zipline (12). When the brake (56) is engaged, the reels'rate of rotation is slowed, thereby slowing the brake line (40) and the rider (32). When the brake (56) is engaged to stop the reels'rotation, the brake line (40) is brought to a stop, thereby arresting the motion of rider (32).

L'invention concerne un système de contrôle et de freinage à assistance continue (10) actionnable pour contrôler le mouvement, la vitesse et l'accélération d'une personne sur une tyrolienne (32) traversant une tyrolienne (12). Une ligne de frein (40) est entraînée autour de première et seconde bobines (50, 52) et suspendue au-dessus de la tyrolienne (12). La personne (32) est attachée à la ligne de frein (40). Un frein (56) est couplé à au moins l'une des bobines (50, 52). Lorsque le frein (56) est désengagé, la ligne de frein (40) est tirée conjointement avec la personne (32) à mesure que cette personne (32) traverse la tyrolienne (12). Lorsque le frein (56) est engage, la vitesse de rotation des bobines est ralentie, ralentissant ainsi la ligne de frein (40) et la personne (32). Lorsque le frein (56) est engagé pour arrêter la rotation des bobines, la ligne de frein (40) est arrêtée, arrêtant ainsi le mouvement de la personne (32).
