What is the first step in Zip Line 9 procedures?

• A. Transfer - transfer participant to static belay on zip platform
• B. Move the rope to the belay device
• C. Set up the anchor system
• D. Check the harness Fit

Answer: (A)

Starting with transferring the participant to a static belay on the zip platform creates a controlled, fixed point of safety before any line work or final checks are done. When the rider is attached to a static belay, they’re secured in place, so the operator can move freely to complete setup without the risk of the line or the rider shifting unexpectedly. This establishes a safe starting point for the rest of the steps, such as performing final checks and preparing the rope and anchor system, with the rider already held securely. By securing the rider first, you minimize movement and potential mishaps as you finalize equipment and proceed with the ride.
