Zip track and system

1. A track system for a challenge course comprising:

a puck track having a puck support surface, wherein a puck track opening extends through the puck support surface;

a zip track having a rotating member support surface which extends between a first end of the zip track and a second end of the zip track, wherein the first end of the zip track is positioned higher than the second end of the zip track; and

a moveable body comprising a puck and a rotating member, wherein the moveable body is displaceable along the puck track and the zip track, with the puck being disposed above the puck support surface when the moveable body is displaced along the puck track, and the rotating member being disposed above the rotating member support surface when the moveable body is displaced along the zip track;

wherein the puck track overlaps with the zip track through at least a portion of the zip track, such that the puck is disposed above the puck support surface and the rotating member is disposed above the rotating member support surface when the moveable body is moved onto the first end of the zip track.

2. The track system of claim 1 , wherein the puck track traverses at least a portion of the challenge course.

3. The track system of claim 1 , wherein the zip track descends between a platform of the challenge course at the first end to another structure at the second end.

4. The track system of claim 3 , wherein the structure at the second end is another platform of the challenge course or another challenge course.

5. The track system of claim 1 , wherein the puck track overlaps with the zip track entirely between the first end of the zip track and the second end of the zip track.

6. The track system of claim 5 , wherein the puck contacts the puck support surface through at least a portion of the puck track when the moveable body is moved between the first end of the zip track and the second end of the zip track.

7. The track system of claim 6 , wherein the puck continuously contacts the puck support surface when the moveable body is moved between the first end of the zip track and the second end of the zip track.

8. The track system of claim 1 , wherein the moveable body extends downwardly through the puck track opening from the puck, when the moveable body is disposed along the puck track, to attach to a lanyard connected to a safety harness worn by a user.

9. The track system of claim 1 , wherein the rotating member support surface has a zip track opening which extends through the rotating member support surface.

10. The track system of claim 9 , wherein the moveable body extends downwardly through the zip track opening, when the moveable body is disposed along the zip track, to attach to a lanyard connected to a safety harness worn by a user.

11. The track system of claim 9 , wherein the moveable body comprises a first rotating member and a second rotating member arranged on opposing sides of the moveable body, with the first rotating member and the second rotating member being disposed above the rotating member support surface on opposite sides of the zip track opening when the moveable body is displaced along the zip track.

12. The track system of claim 9 , wherein the puck track opening and the zip track opening are vertically aligned.

13. The track system of claim 1 , wherein the puck is lifted off the puck support surface when the rotating member is moved onto the rotating member support surface at the first end of the zip track.

14. The track system of claim 1 , wherein the puck support surface is positioned higher than the rotating member support surface at the first end of the zip track.

15. The track system of claim 1 , wherein the rotating member is arranged on the moveable body downwardly from the puck.

16. The track system of claim 1 , wherein the rotating member comprises at least one wheel.

17. The track system of claim 1 , further comprising a second puck track arranged at the second end of the zip track, wherein the puck is disposed above a puck support surface of the second puck track when the moveable body is being moved out of the second end of the zip track.

18. The track system of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the puck track is integrally connected to the zip track.

19. The track system of claim 1 , wherein the zip track comprises a non-linear slope between the first end and the second end.

20. The track system of claim 1 , further comprising a braking means to slow the moveable body when the moveable body is displaced along the zip track.
