Extreme Sport

Rope jumping, also known as rope free-flying, falling is the extreme sport of jumping off a cliff while anchored to a highline system with a rope.[1][2] This is notably different from bungee jumping as there is little stretch in the rope, allowing the jumper to have a longer freefall, stopping closer to the ground. Rope jumping is a highly dangerous sport that requires extensive knowledge and preparation to be done safely.[3]

Rope jumping deaths

Dan Osman died due to the failure of a rope jump anchor system in Yosemite National Park on November 23, 1998.[4]
