WATERSKI ROPEWAY AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A WATERSKI ROPEWAY

摘要

The invention relates to a "waterski oscillating ropeway" (1) for pulling a water skier (2) along a water surface (3) of a waterski section. The ropeway (1) has a circulating rope (4) arranged above the water surface (3), a drag line (5) which is fastened to the circulating rope (4) and has a handle (6) at the free end for the water skier (2), and a hoisting device (7). Overall, the ropeway (1) is designed so as, when the handle (6) is released, to hoist the drag line (5) to an extent sufficient to keep the handle (6) at a safety distance above the water surface (3). The invention also relates to a corresponding operating method for a waterski oscillating ropeway (1).
