We are currently throwing around, if not hefting around, an idea to
install and operate a rock climbing wall for our science center.  I have
seen a few other science centers with rocks walls, and I am looking for
advice.

 

Are there any additional insurance requirements for operating a rock
wall?  Who staffs the wall?  Do waivers need to be signed by visitors
who want to climb?  Has it become one of your most popular activities?

 

Any and all practical advice or information would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.
