zipliners
Aerial cable travelers
Zipliners are people who ride ziplines—cables strung between elevated points that allow riders to glide down by gravity while attached to a pulley.
The term typically describes recreational thrill-seekers at adventure parks or eco-tourism destinations: The zipliners soared over the rainforest canopy.
