A zip-wire is a pulley system attached to cable or wire, attached to two sturdy objects on an incline, used for transportation or leisure.
Using a movable pulley is known as using it to 'advantage'. The line going to the movable pulley contributes towards the force acting on the load. A line going to a fixed pulley, only serves to change the direction of the force.
A single pulley system is used to change direction of the pulling force line.
