slack line

Bouncy walking strap

A slack line is a length of flat webbing tensioned between two anchor points, used for balancing and walking.

Unlike a tightrope, which is rigid, a slack line has deliberate give and bounce, making it dynamic and challenging.

Popular in parks and climbing areas as both training and recreation: She practiced on the slack line between two trees.

Also written as one word: slackline.
