What's the activity where you jump off cliff faces attached to a rope? (dan osman is famous for it)?

Question

It's like skydiving, but the rope brings you to a stop.

Answer 1

Yes, it is called "rope jumping" and it uses a special kind of climbing rope called a dynamic rope. This kind of rope has a specific amount of stretch in it made to slow down and stop a climber that has fallen.

These ropes are only rated to stop a certain number of falls before they should be replaced - this is VERY DANGEROUS and Dan Osman died doing it when the rope rubbed against itself and melted. There are very special skills required to rig these things so that you don't hit the cliff - please be careful.

Good Luck

Answer 2

Bungee Jumping.

Usually it's not a rope.  You can do some major internal damage with a rope.  Usually use a bungee cord (a springy rope thing).

On second thought, apparently it's called "rope-jumping".
