zip line
Gravity-powered descent
A zip line is a cable stretched between two points at different elevations, along which a person rides by hanging from a pulley.
Zip lines appear at adventure parks, summer camps, and ecotourism sites, offering a thrill as riders glide above treetops or canyons: We took a zip line through the rainforest canopy.
Also spelled zipline.
