It was the most dangerous moment I saw too All the other stuff looked crazy but you guys know what you’re doing so risk was all mitigated. During the bag drop seemed the part that could have turned into a PSA
Nice video. To fill out your safety comments and importance of inspection, in a much less dangerous situation I saw a failure happen because of not thinking everything through. A rope had been rigged across a lake, about 200 feet. One end was on top of an almost cliff that dropped about 30-40 feet then flattened out to the water's edge. The lake water was above your head a few feet from shore. A pulley was rigged on the rope with a bar to hang from made a nice, fun ride to splash into the lake. The rope was inspected every few rides, and the knots and rope around the trees. The knots holding the bar triangle onto the pulley was inspected each time. But, nobody thought to check the bar. The bar was a piece of pipe with a rope run through it that was knotted into a triangle and securely tied to the pull slide. After maybe 10 or so rides, with progressively fancier dive stunts off the bar, a girl grabbed onto the bar, ran off into space, and ... the rope threaded through the bar broke. I watched her fall into space, and frantically run and flail her ams in the air until her feet hit the side of the almost cliff near the bottom. That and her frantic arm movements propelled her out into the water in a crazy flop crash with a splash at the end. She was a bit bruised, and very shook up, but ok. Just one of those lessons to make sure you think of how everything works when you put it together.
How do you test that people have enough strength to hold onto the bar? I presume you've seen the "fat people fail videos" of their hands slipping off. Now I'm scared to try, and I'm skinny. :) Come to think of it, I'd use opposing grips, that much safer.
@@markus717 Hmm. Like buying a yacht, if you have to ask... ;-) In this case, I did gymnastics for a long time as an adult. The guy who rigged it was a college gymnast. We were all young, and in great shape. Nobody slipped off because their hands gave out. And I was a lot stronger than most there. Practical advice, do pullups somewhere. Graduate to weighted pullups and hangs, but care for your shoulders. Lift smooth, not bouncy-bounce with anything over 15-20 lbs. 15 years ago, I banged out pullup sets of 12-14 reps with 70 lbs on a chain belt and had fun. Now? I had to back off to max 20 lbs because my rotator cuffs hurt too much and we'll see if I get back to where I was, ever. (That was precipitated by adding butterfly stroke to my swimming for a good sprint in the water. Problem is, I didn't have the shoulder girdle flexibility I used to have, and you need great flexibility for butterfly. Yeah, I knew, but ignored it. We do that.) Deadlift without grips (I never use grips) is good for hand strength. But these days I max out at a few pounds over my body weight. I'm not going for heavy lift, I want good overall and a balanced front-back musculature. Getting strong hands and arms for functional fitness---It's practice. A couple, maybe 3 times a week, and sometimes work with a friend to max out so you have trouble holding a fork at dinner. Have fun with it. Don't sweat any one or two workouts if they're not great. And never do high skill, must-succeed moves after heavy calisthenics, unless something forces you into it. In gymnastics it was always, heavy stretching and light calisthenics to warm up about 30 minutes. Basic tumbling for 20-30 minutes, then get to skills we were working on for an hour. Last 30-45 minutes was calisthenics to the max. Do some skills and testing workouts, pullups, climbing wall, etc. Develop confidence. Trust me, I know what it's like to be really scared of something. If that's where you're at, best to be with a coach who knows what can go wrong, and will spot you, make sure it's safe. In a mountaineering situation, I would never have thought of using a bar. Hmm. But if I did, I'd have a separate safety harness, just like you have for slackline.
here from steve moulds video he mentioned how the rope rose up when you chucked the bag of stones off the cliff when explaining why the same thing happens to bead chains
I love this channel and just subscribed yesterday. I climbed for many years and always felt redundancy was paramount to safety and staying alive. The interesting thing I noticed after awhile were the places in the "system" where we would overlook this for one reason or another and justify it to ourselves accordingly. When climbing , we would be using 1 rope....and 1 harness. Now granted , if these 2 things couldn't be trusted...we probably wouldn't have or shouldn't have been on them. This brings me to my point as there is always some "blind spot" and we do what we can to minimize this possibility. Always be vigilant , aware and never too comfortable with everything. This channel is probably the best channel I've ever seen in regards to covering the full spectrum of Lined Altitude Sports. They always present it with the advice of making sure you go with someone experienced first and learn from them. Lastly , Sports , like life, are fun as heck but a bit dangerous at times so use your intellect as often as possible. Ps , so did I ever back up my rope and harness when climbing? Harness yes , rope...no. Pss , Can't wait to read The Bolting Bible
I'll stick to being the king of my local school yard swing set. All those guys over there think I'm the boss cuz I can slack chain it going so high, then I really wow them when I shoot myself 10-15' off those suckers. If anyone shows them this video, my legacy is dead. Not bragging but I can even reverse leg pump to get myself going, but sometimes I like to mix it up and have someone push me & run underneath...That's when we're really putting on a show. This video was kind of cool I guess, if you're into weak types of adventures. lol This is sick guys!! I pray 1 day we don't see a video of this failing. Be safe & best of luck!!
Agreed. I mean I bet rope jumping is a blast, but all that effort, gear, risk mitigation and attention doesn't seem worth it tbh. Not regularly anyway.
it felt safe enough. We have even better systems now that make every redundancy have full efficiency so we need less of them. Hope to put out a video about all that this fall... get it :)
Very interesting video! I can't believe you guys actually do that! I can't look out the window of tall buildings so there is virtually no chance of me "trying this at home." But I found this super interesting and technical. It actually seems relatively safe if you know what you are doing. Great video!
Please tell me how a harness would help if your leg got stuck. I wouldn't want to live through that. And most personal anchors can't handle that force anyways. Those guys should have been further back, not wearing harnesses.
@@HowNOT2 So you're saying personal anchors cant handle the weight of a bag of rocks? If that's the case I would be worried about trying to use one to anchor myself.
@@DJcyberslash I think he was trying to say is that the personal harness wouldn't stand a chance in case you got stuck to the bag's rope while it's at the peak of it's force/speed. The harness would break or your leg would be shredded to pieces...
Such a relief to see you set out how ridiculously rigorous you have to be to maximise the safety margin. Well done. I wish everyone climbed like this, letalone did this crazy shit! Thanks for the amazing work you put into these.
Everyone’s attitude was so much better after they jumped... love it man! Totally jealous! I’m watching this with my 2 year old and she’s loving it also...
Well, you did it. You convinced me to go out and jump off a cliff now. Your right. I have no idea what I would be doing. So instead of messing with those pesky ropes, I'll leave them at the house.
That’s some next level rope swing shit! I was just telling my 7 year old today about our rope swing when I was a kid... 70’ pepper tree. 1” rope, climb cliff next to tree w rope in hand... jump on and hope tree or rope did not snap as it sometimes would... typically with 2-3 people on board.... I hope your channel blows up as it should! Subd...
I think this was my favorite video yet, and answered where the opening montage clip came from. Don’t worry, I’d never try this, I appreciate you all doing it for me.
I do actually want to try this once, the feeling of trowing yourself out from a hige place with only death beneath you, hoping the robes wil save you. the first time to jump off is bound to be a once in a lifetime experience no matter what happens.
For tidy rope management you might want to consider adopting some sailing ship rope coiling techniques, like a figure 8 flake or something. Some might work better with climbing ropes than others, I'm sure the thin-ness compared to hauling rope on a tallship will make the behavior very different, but it might be way better than the messy piles I'm seeing here.
Awesome video. When I was in Yosemite last year I saw from people high lining from the valley. Always wanted to try something like that but I’ve got a lot of learning to do before I could ever try.
That was awesome.......you definitely know your shit...... And you made it fun. Serious and fun. Thank you for all the highlights and SAFETY messages. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Got it, step 1, create an American death triangle like but big so that people don't notice. Step 2 have people with no harness throw off bags of rocks only feet from the rope coil. Step 3: publish online so that people think that you didn't just scrape by due to luck. Got it :)
We made a sport out of american death triangles :). Ropes don't jump backwards when uncoiling. We have done a lot of math and testing before this. I act like I only partially know what I'm doing but I did a ton more than you see here. See this test we did th-cam.com/video/fU8USjRlIyo/w-d-xo.html. We also use dynos on every jump we do. We know the forces and maintain a 5:1 safety ratio
@@updatemysettings5095 i do disclaim these things, more so than any other channel glamorizing rope swings. Check out my newest rope swing video published less than a month ago. Lots of disclaimers in there.
That was awesome! Thanks for making the effort bringing it to youtube to give me those pins and needles in my hands and feet and the idea to now go out and do the same :)
why in gods name would you not have the guys kicking that bag over clipped in and secure?!?!. all it takes is one tangle grabbing his giant boot and taking him over with it.... so not smart...
There is nothing to secure us behind that rope. If secured and your foot gets stuck you will wish you were dead. Ropes don't jump backwards. We make it sound like a bigger deal so it is entertaining :).
Wish you would have showed people coming back. Curious how you do it. Edit: Posted this prior to finishing the video. I see that you explained it further. Still would be nice to see it in action.
If I could go with you guys I'd do this in a heartbeat, but seeing that I'm not iij n this video, I'll stick to climbing and jumping from my giant trees and rope swings 😆
I don't know why i watched this whole video. Bc i was completely lost after 5 secs of you explaining what u did n how. The jumping n other part was cool. But unless ur a climber this sounds like a dr trying to explain how he's gonna do surgery lol. This would be fun as hell to try.
I'm curious how long you use the climbing ropes. (Ie do you use the same ropes for multiple jumps? retire after one event? etc) Dynamic ropes are fall rated, and there's not a full shock load applied in a rope swing set up.
At 10:45, calling the rope through the rings as a backup is a bit of a mistake with the figure 8 tied. Using something like an alpine butterfly will isolate all three sides of the knot and create a backup. However, the traditional figure 8 would roll under load in this scenario (as a backup) creating a failure of the knot and consequently, the system. LOL, sorry, a bit of a nerd brain for this stuff since it's what I do for work and play!
@@HowNOT2 the flat figure 8 has a history of failing and killing climbers at loads achieved by simply rappelling. Calling it a "backup" means it's full strength. You're just lying to yourself if you think it wouldn't roll until 18kn.
@@BryanPCC show me a link of what you are talking about. I've never heard of a figure 8 being pulled as normal as apple pie collapsing or rolling or can even imagine how they would undo themselves. Are you talking about the rope holding the rings in place or the jump ropes?
What type of climbing rope do u use to climb with sir ,what is ur thickness of rope n how long is ur rope 150" or 200" foot ...plz sir ..or u could send me a link to the website u buy from on ur ropes sir ..awesome job ,great job ..god bless u all amen.
Wow ..... amazing to watch those jumps ! Is there anywhere that lay people ie Joe Public can make these kind of jumps (in a similar way that the public can do bungee jumps ) ?
Thank you for the quick reply :-). Do you know any specific companies or countries ? I guess googling "Rope Jump Europe" may yield results ? Many thanks.
Wonderful job !!!! My question is about the safety on all the members of the stuff; I mean at those higher points. nobody -and myself- should be atached at any common place or at a specific point?, just because since the accidents are always present, if someone slipes, at least the fall won't go so far. I was watching absolutely scared that suddenly a great job became a tragedy. I'm sorry for my thoughs, but I believe is necessary a look up of your lifes and risks of wrong events. Thank you. I enjoyed it any way .
",,,welcome to my new garage". That IS a very nice garage. Nothing like being organized. I thought dynamic rope needs to 'recover' when a climber falls on it. Are your rope jumps considered 'falls' (from the dynamic rope's perspective)? If so, how does the dynamic rope get to 'recover' between each rope jump? Is there enough time?
Fun fact: The "rope fountain" effect that happens when you send the haul bag off the cliff attached to the haul line is called "newton's beads". Its all to do with inertia.

ok
Can you do more videos on setting up legit swings..??
Sketchiest part of the whole video was kicking that bag off the edge lol
But it was for safety ;) haha
Yeah i feel it to because the 2 guys not strapped in
It was the most dangerous moment I saw too
All the other stuff looked crazy but you guys know what you’re doing so risk was all mitigated.
During the bag drop seemed the part that could have turned into a PSA
No shit
Yah if the rope stretched around one of there ankles it could have pulled them off :/
I'm so glad you did your best to discourage rope jumping. But, showing those guys push the bag off without being tied off was not good.
Shut the hell up sometimes
That would be hard pass from me

I'm curious how long you use the climbing ropes. (Ie do you use the same ropes for multiple jumps? retire after one event? etc) Dynamic ropes are fall rated, and there's not a full shock load applied in a rope swing set up.
At 10:45, calling the rope through the rings as a backup is a bit of a mistake with the figure 8 tied. Using something like an alpine butterfly will isolate all three sides of the knot and create a backup. However, the traditional figure 8 would roll under load in this scenario (as a backup) creating a failure of the knot and consequently, the system.
LOL, sorry, a bit of a nerd brain for this stuff since it's what I do for work and play!
maybe, at 18kn. We are putting 2 or 3kn on this
@@HowNOT2 the flat figure 8 has a history of failing and killing climbers at loads achieved by simply rappelling. Calling it a "backup" means it's full strength. You're just lying to yourself if you think it wouldn't roll until 18kn.
@@BryanPCC show me a link of what you are talking about. I've never heard of a figure 8 being pulled as normal as apple pie collapsing or rolling or can even imagine how they would undo themselves. Are you talking about the rope holding the rings in place or the jump ropes?
Yes, it seems like they guys testing the bag should at least be on a personal anchor.
What type of climbing rope do u use to climb with sir ,what is ur thickness of rope n how long is ur rope 150" or 200" foot ...plz sir ..or u could send me a link to the website u buy from on ur ropes sir ..awesome job ,great job ..god bless u all amen.
Rostrum, a beak-like projection, especially a stiff snout or anterior prolongation of the head in an insect, crustacean, or cetacean.
I don't understand - what prevents there being a sudden shock load?
Wild man... wild...
I've done this in Estonia between Huge Apartment buildings but never in a Gorge. That's crazy
I have jumped out of aircraft in the past. But I have no idea how you guys do what you do. I am slightly scared when I watch.
Wow ..... amazing to watch those jumps ! Is there anywhere that lay people ie Joe Public can make these kind of jumps (in a similar way that the public can do bungee jumps ) ?
Not in California. Europe has stuff like that but we cant commercialize the national parks, even if we could get insurance which i doubt
Thank you for the quick reply :-). Do you know any specific companies or countries ? I guess googling "Rope Jump Europe" may yield results ? Many thanks.
@@Simpleburger1968 pyrenaline in france or contact BaseJumpMoab because andy lewis was working on a commercial option out there
Much appreciated :-)
7:00 is that the banjo player from deliverance?
Why was I more nervous for the bag test than the actual jump? 😂😂
Because you've watched too many pirate movies where the foot get caught in anchor rope and pulls the pirate off the ship ;)
I like the title great video I subbed
awesome video and job. thanks
This is when Ben Stiller used to teach rope jumping set up courses during his breaks while shooting meet the parents
Dont worry...ill never do that!... have fun
Wonderful job !!!! My question is about the safety on all the members of the stuff; I mean at those higher points. nobody -and myself- should be atached at any common place or at a specific point?, just because since the accidents are always present, if someone slipes, at least the fall won't go so far. I was watching absolutely scared that suddenly a great job became a tragedy. I'm sorry for my thoughs, but I believe is necessary a look up of your lifes and risks of wrong events. Thank you. I enjoyed it any way .
You're right, the greatest risk of any rope swings that are rigged well are the people hanging out at the cliff edge not tied in.
",,,welcome to my new garage". That IS a very nice garage. Nothing like being organized. I thought dynamic rope needs to 'recover' when a climber falls on it. Are your rope jumps considered 'falls' (from the dynamic rope's perspective)? If so, how does the dynamic rope get to 'recover' between each rope jump? Is there enough time?
there is 30 minutes at least between and we only put on 2 or 3kn on each jump.
Why can’t you use multiple normal static or dynamic ropes instead of the slack line you used?
Fun fact: The "rope fountain" effect that happens when you send the haul bag off the cliff attached to the haul line is called "newton's beads". Its all to do with inertia.
Great video! Is that the same place the late,great Dan Osman rope jumped?
Not the same place.
Late, not so great Dano.
Great video, very informative, keep up the insane work. :)
Wow, a very, very good video.. thanks!!!
Woooooooooo, Wooooooooooo, Woooooooooooooooooooooooo, Woo, Woo, Woooooooooooooooooooo!
This gives me anxiety like no other video I’ve watched!!
Wow there is a lot more to this than I thought. Caught absolutely everything will be trying this next weekend. NO!
wow now that I know the systems and redundancies I just need to do the math on forces. Thanks :D
Nice video .Watching from NEPAL .
At first, I thought "they are crazy!". Then you started jumping and then I wanted to go as well xD
