A zip-line consists of a pulley which is suspended on a rope or cable
that is mounted on an incline. The user is harnessed to the pulley and
transported by gravity from one end of the line to the other. Zip-lines
are made in many styles. They range from small-scale for children's
playgrounds to elaborate networks for access to remote areas such as
a rainforest canopy. Zip-line tours are an increasingly popular vacation
activity at outdoor adventure camps and resorts. Zip lines are variably
known as a flying fox, zip wire, aerial runway, aerial ropeslide, and
tyrolean crossing.
