The History of Zip Lining
Historically, zip lines have been in use to transport people and supplies from one end to another in inhospitable regions and in rescue operations. There is always a slight risk involved, but sometimes becomes the only means to a recovery. For instance, in the recent flooding and subsequent landslides that took place in the northern mountains of the state of Uttarakhand, this rope-pulley system was used by the Indian Army to ferry stranded pilgrims from one mountain side to another.
Zip lining is a popular tourist recreation in many countries across the globe. In recent years, with the entry of international equipment with high safety and quality standards in the market, it has become a favorite pastime for tourists in certain destinations. Known commonly in India as Flying Fox, there are many tourist sites where people can enjoy this sport safely with their friends and family, including children.
