That's what I figured haha. I guess with the rappelling setup the strain isn't too bad, and you can take breaks if necessary

I used to use a climbing harness.It sucked trying to take breaks with it. My new harness i bought is designed for rope access work. I can hang in it all day. Super comfortable.

It doesnt matter how you die.
But only how you live.

And therein, as the bard would tell us, lies the rub.

Yeaaaah!

I have this one. Never had to hang much in it, the type of work I use it for (boom, scissor, stage/film/lighting) is more of the "in case" rather than the "all the time" sort of harness work.

One good fall or even just breaks and I end up with bruises on my legs when climbing. Cool harnesses you guys posted!

This is horrifying!

I'd love to see a lil writeup on how you safely rig to the bridge. What decisions you make and why. I also see you using two ropes with figure 8's on dual opposed locking biners on a solid harness.

+1! This would be very cool! I would have no idea how to set something like this up. I've made some makeshift ziplines before, but I would not have called them 'safe'...

I have some climbing and rope knowledge but this is definitely a very cool application of that!

Also, huge props for jumping! I couldn't do it!
