Slacklining involves balancing and walking along a flat, tensioned webbing line secured between two anchor points. It focuses on balance, coordination and core control and is commonly practised at low height in parks, outdoor spaces or climbing areas. When taken part in abroad, slacklining is usually enjoyed as a recreational, amateur activity rather than a competitive discipline.
ActivitySure can cover slacklining when you are taking part overseas at an amateur level. While beginner slacklining is often done close to the ground, loss of balance can still result in falls or awkward landings. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if something goes wrong while practising during your trip.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go slacklining?
Slacklining is popular in destinations that offer open outdoor spaces and a strong outdoor activity culture. California is well known for its parks and climbing areas where slacklining is widely practised as part of the outdoor lifestyle. Switzerland attracts slackliners looking to combine balance activities with mountain scenery, while Germany has an active slacklining community and designated areas in parks and recreational spaces.
Many travellers practise slacklining casually while travelling, often as part of climbing trips, outdoor festivals or recreational days in public spaces.
Here's why slacklining travel insurance matters:
Slacklining requires maintaining balance on a narrow, flexible line, which increases the likelihood of slips, falls or ankle and wrist injuries. Even low-height lines can result in strains or impact injuries if balance is lost unexpectedly. If you are injured while slacklining abroad, travel insurance helps protect you financially if you require medical treatment, hospital care or repatriation.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow any local guidance or rules on where slacklining is permitted
- Check anchors and webbing carefully before use to ensure the line is secure
- Use spotters or protective mats beneath the line where possible.
- Keep your gaze forward and use your arms to help maintain balance
- Start with a low, short line and progress gradually.
Frequently asked questions
Slacklining usually involves balancing or walking along a suspended flat line fixed between two points. This could be set up close to the ground for practice, or in a more challenging outdoor setting where the risk of falling is higher.
Yes, ActivitySure can cover slacklining, but it needs to be added to your policy before you take part. Your policy needs to match the activity you’re actually doing, as claims will only be considered for insured activities shown on your policy.
If slacklining is shown on your policy, you can be covered for emergency medical expenses if you’re injured while taking part. You should listen to guidance, use any required safety equipment, and avoid attempting lines beyond your ability. Be aware it is your responsibility to minimise the risks of any activity as much as you can.
Not necessarily. Highlining usually involves slacklining at height, across elevated terrain over land or sea, and generally carries a much higher risk. If your plans involve highlining or any set-up at height, you should get in touch so that we can discuss your activity with our underwriter.
Not automatically. If you want cover for your own or hired slacklining equipment against loss, theft or damage, you’ll need to add Sports Equipment Cover when arranging your policy. Limits and exclusions apply, so check the Policy Wording.
