What does the 'Transfer' step describe in the zip procedure?

• A. Moving from static belay to zip platform
• B. Checking equipment
• C. Spotting rider's head
• D. Clearing zip alley

Answer: (A)

The Transfer step is the hand-off from ground belay to the zip platform. It’s the moment you move the rider from being tied into a stationary belay on the ground to stepping onto the zip platform, ensuring the rider remains securely connected to the line and all safety checks (harness, trolley, carabiners, helmet) are confirmed before the ride begins. This transition keeps control continuous and sets the rider up for a safe start. The other options reflect actions that happen earlier or elsewhere in the procedure—equipment checks, spotting the rider, or clearing the zip alley—so they don’t describe this transfer moment.
