Tyrolean ladder

Explanation:
je n'ai pas trouver le mot commme tel mais le mot tyrolienne est associé à un sport ou l'on descend d'une certaine hauteur avec un harnais (comme en parapente). P-ê aussi le nom générique d\ un type de câble ou de corde utilisé dans ces activités

Elle est destinée à une utilisation sur tyrolienne en câble ou
en corde avec faible pente

horizontal rope ladder (?)

Explanation:
Since a Tyrolien is a flying fox, I imagine this is a horizontal rope ladder, as found in children's play areas.

<<Tyrolien - Corde tendue entre 2 parois. La tyrolienne peut être horizontale (traversée de puits, de rivière) ou bien oblique (surtout utilisée lors des secours lors de la remontée de la civière). Le passage de tyrolienne se fait en principe grâce à des poulies.>>

<<Guests dangle precariously, but safely, over an inflated cushion as they try to slowly inch upwards on a challenging, horizontal rope ladder>>

<<I tried to climb a nearly horizontal rope ladder to reach a bell (failed miserably) and tried various other games of chance/skill.>>
