What is the primary responsibility of a challenge course facilitator?

• A. To enforce time limits
• B. To explain the rules and keep participants safe
• C. To ensure safety, provide instructions, monitor participants, and manage risk
• D. To grade performance

Answer: (C)

The main responsibility is to keep participants safe while guiding them through the activities. This means giving a clear safety briefing and instructions, checking and using the right equipment, watching participants closely during the course, and actively managing risk by recognizing hazards and intervening or modifying activities as needed. Enforcing time limits or grading performance aren’t the focus of a facilitator’s role; those aspects don’t address how to run the course safely and help participants learn through the experience.
