Tarzan swing
Jungle rope traverse
A Tarzan swing is a rope or cable hung from a high point—typically a tree branch or platform—used to swing out and drop into water or onto another surface.
Named after the jungle hero who swings on vines, these appear at swimming holes, rope courses, and adventure parks: We took turns on the Tarzan swing, dropping into the lake.
