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.

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!
