Abstract: A safety check apparatus and method for testing a lanyard system prior to entering a challenge course. The apparatus comprises a track arranged at an entrance of the challenge course. The track includes a first position and a second position above a supporting surface. A moveable member is supported by and displaceable relative to the track. The track is connected to a course track that traverses the challenge course such that the moveable member is displaceable therebetween. A lanyard is attached to the moveable member and extends a length from the moveable member. A user harness is coupled to the lanyard. When at least a portion of a user's weight is supported by the harness, the connection point between the harness and the lanyard is positioned higher above the supporting surface at the second position of the track than at the first position of the track.
