What is the step immediately following 'Unclip' in the zip steps?

• A. Sweep
• B. Commands/instructions- on zip?
• C. Spot- spot head, neck, and shoulders
• D. Check- zip pulley, zip static, and carabiners for proper working order

Answer: (A)

Sweeping the area is the next essential move after unclip. This step focuses on scanning the zip zone and landing area to ensure there are no people, obstacles, or loose gear that could cause a collision or entanglement, and to confirm a clear path for a safe ride. The other actions—giving instructions on how to zip, spot-checking the rider’s head/neck/shoulders, or verifying gear like the pulley, line, and carabiners—are important safety tasks, but they don’t address the immediate need to verify a safe, clear area right after unclip.
