That's very cool. Couldn't tell you if I'd do it or not till I'm standing on the edge. I think I probably would though.

Its in the blue mountains by the looks of it....
I could stand on the edge and look over no problem but my brain would turn off doing the swing

I posted this on another forum and was told that this is how Dan Osman died.

I always just thought he slipped and fell.

Yep, that's pretty keen.
Definately looks like the Blueys, I think it's Hanging Rock at Blackheath.
We were watching some mad bastards doing something similar at Arapiles one arvo, but with nowhere near as much freefall before the rope took up.

I thought Dan Osman died doing a controlled free fall. I remember seeing the video of the original jump. He went back 6 weeks later or something to collect his gear and thought he would jump again, but the rope was rotten from sunlight and broke.

Sorry man, I'm not a climber. Just passing on what I was told.


What's a controlled free fall?

Issues

The jump was called something else when I read it. basically its like a bunjy jump with a rope instead of a rubber band.

-Dex-
08-02-2010, 09:04 PM
Isn't that pretty much what's in the video?

Issues

It was not swinging though, long drop with a short stop. It relied on the elasticity of the rope to stretch enough not to brake your back or dislocate joints. So after 6 weeks or so of sunlight on the rope it became brittle and snapped instead of stretching. A great loss.

Wow. That's nuts.

After watching a few youtoobs of him the guy was obviously a freak. Imagine declaring a thumb war on him!! He'd break your wrists!
