zipliner

Aerial cable traveler

A zipliner is someone who rides a zipline—a cable strung between elevated points that allows a person in a harness to glide downward by gravity.

The term appears in adventure tourism contexts: Zipliners soared over the jungle canopy.

It can refer to someone currently riding or to enthusiasts of the activity generally.
