that must be lots of adrenaline..

If I were that monkey I would've barfed the whole suit under!

I'm just saying!

AWESOME
i'd love to do that

I'm sticking to swinging from trees in the Jungle

No...that's what i would never do !

#5 I'd consider it after ~5l of beer...

My feet tingle just watching...No way for me!!!

no way i am jumping like that,, those ppl do have balls,, even that girl. amazing !

id rather have my ass crack waxed and be repeatedly punched in the spine by kimbo slice than do that

I will never do that in my life. there are daring people who do not fear of such things

we got base jumping, bungee jumping and god knows whatever else kinda jumping and this in my humble opinion is right up there with them.
Now call me old fashioned but personally i'd rather find an easier way down.
makes for interesting viewing though.

I would do it, change my pants a couple of times and do it again.

#16 ...you forgot to mention your username

ok this is very very dangerous to start with, the way they go down with those 2 wires bouncing they can easy get wrapped around your neck or arms and just choup it off

#18 the second rope is for safety,
because you "swing" it's unlikely to chop off anything ;-)

this is an old method, done by people years before all this
bungee etc stuff come up.
normally it works best with high bridges.

some "climber" knowledge is required for the setup etc

#16 ...jesus take a chill pill i dont think what he said was that bad , i dont even think he ment it in a sexist way if he did well your right but to say some one has balls its kinda wrong to say it about a woman because well you dont have any(and you know what i mean im not being a prick ) , and ps i bought my mom the best 50th birthday gift ever , a tandem para jump , she still hates me for it but she still did it mainly becasue it cost a fortune and they let her have a few hot whiskeys first to stop her from shakin

Does anyone else see the similarity to Wiley Coyote?

It looks like they are using standard perlon climbing rope. Nylon 6. 11mm.

Using two ropes will make the stop at the bottom of the fall twice as abrupt, which means that the climber will feel it twice as hard at the harness contact points. The two ropes could wrap around each other, or the climber could get his/her neck caught between the ropes. Will let you think about that. See comment by #18. It is very unlikely that one rope would fail. Using two ropes introduces more danger, and doubles the stopping force, which means that all points of the rigging see twice the loads, including the anchor, and the climber, harness, attaching hardware, slings, etc.

There are other possibilities in their rigging which could lead to an accident.

Life is more precious and deserves more respect than doing stupid stunts like this. Not impressive. And yes, I have done many high angle stunts. No point to taking this kind of risk.

lol. For the mascot we should the cable snap and fly!

Adding to my previous comment.

It is very unlikely that one rope would fail. However, that depends on the fall factor, length of the fall, weight of the climber, and how many times the fall is repeated. Climbing ropes are rated for a certain number of falls, based on a fall factor of 1.78. Keep doing it over and over again, even with less severe falls, and they WILL snap.

Death wish?

wonderful song...who is it ?

aussie aussie aussie

#21 I thought of wild coyote too...but in his case, the rock attached the rope, would surely break and fall on top of him

#26 it sounded familiar to me.
It's from Bush and called adrenaline.

n for the next trick when he jumps the rope is going to wrap around his neck and die

#22 You say "Using two ropes introduces more danger, and doubles the stopping force, which means that all points of the rigging see twice the loads, including the anchor, and the climber, harness, attaching hardware, slings, etc."

I do not see that being the case. The anchor point would see no real difference I think since the load is the same, and the strain on each rope would be only half since the load is divided between 2 ropes. Since nylon has some elasticity for shock absorption doubling the lines WILL cause the person to feel more stopping force.

#16

if you don't see the point in my message,,, get out of here then, you are to old to watch, go skydive or something
for a girl like that i never will be insulting, it's what they try to call humor. and if there is something wrong with the spelling, read over it, not everyones first language is english you know.

that has been the scariest video i´ve seen in a long time!

#31:

The stopping force is the same on the anchor as it is at the end of the rope. Doubling the ropes does increase the stopping force by a factor of two, because the falling person will stop in half the time.

If a steel cable was used rather than 11mm nylon climbing rope, it would likely kill the climber from the high stopping force, and also likely cause the anchor to fail from the extremely high loads, unless the steel cable snaps first...

I can't think of anything to say thats cool enough to go with what they done...

Organs inside the human body start to shear apart at around 1300 ft-lbs.

This has been known for many years, through cadaver studies conducted by the US Air Force.

So even if the harness stops the climber, his/her body will keep going internally - i.e., shearing apart internally. That is why medical researchers at OHSU have been concerned about the longterm health of bungee-jumpers, for example. Micro-tears in their hearts were discovered, and the longterm effect of these tears are unknown, at least at the time of this particular research - which I believe was approx. 15 years ago.

Dennis Rodman = originator of death swing

guess my dutch and german are much better than yours
still think the girl and the boy's in the movie are doing something great

#(removed comment):
I did not say it was a 'gallows drop'. Calculating the stopping force requires a differential equation. Yes, there is a drop, followed by a swing motion, which transmits some of the fall energy into those vector components. There have been some deaths due to rope jumps. Dan Osman, Bobby Tarver, there may be others.

Ich darf alt sein aber irgendwann Sie werden auch sein. Erinnern Sie sich an dies, während Sie im Spiegel mit Bedauern starren.

Ik kan zijn oud, maar ooit u zult ook zijn. Herinner u dit als u in de spiegel met spijt staart.

waterwarrior:
So as 60 yr old woman that can bungee-jump, skydive, spell-check and speak german/dutch can you also SHUT THE FUCK UP?

Thank you.

Sure, if that makes you happy.....but, wtF is it to you? Ya don't have to read it bunky. buh bye now.

#42

starting to like her...

but the dutch translation is not as good as google should have done

lots of swinging but no death....hmmmm
looks fun tho

A beautiful girl...

very really interesting stuff
