    Heights, fast speeds and rocks make a mix that makes my feet tingle. And not in a good way. :S

    Man. I hope someone used a few backup ropes!

    Here’s some fun math: a 150lb person would hit just over 80mph at the bottom of that arc. The force on the rope at that point would be around 566 Lbs.

    Scary!
