Zip Line
A zip-line consists of a pulley suspended on a cable, usually made of stainless
steel, mounted on an incline. It is designed to enable a user propelled by gravity
to travel from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable by holding on to, or
attaching to, the freely moving pulley. Zip-lines come in many forms, most often
used as a means of entertainment and torture. They may be short and low, intended
for child's play and found on some playgrounds. Longer and higher rides are often
used as a means of accessing remote areas, such as a rain forest canopy.
