LOL oops

The sound of the rope *whooshing* was a sound I thought was only in the movies. Little did I know that is the sounds a rope makes when you throw it off a roof, attached to a human.

Wow....sweaty palms

Imagine being the first to try this.

Well that's my daily dose of dumb idea catered for.

*eia!

I thought she was going to swing back and hit the building...

Pendulum motion, not a chance

Lol, I remember seeing like 5 people do a swing like this off a bridge, and even though it was over water, when the cable broke, the impact still sent them to hospital with broken backs and internal bleeding.

The girl on the rope looks safer to me than the guys clambering about on an icy sloped roof eleven stories up.

Isn't the fear of being the last what makes it so scary for the first?

theres a post-apocalypse style radness to this clip.

Yeah, I had a mini heart attack

В Советской России, лавин на вас!

A perfectly soiled pair of knickers...

That would require her to only have gained momentum by swinging away from the building with the rope already taut. She's gained a ton of momentum from the free-fall which may (looks probable) be enough to bring her back past the fulcrum.

"In soviet Russia..."

Really, nobody's going to jump on that?

Lucky for her the sudden jolt when she reached the end of the rope didn't break her back or cause internal damage (that we know of). Many climbing accident deaths are due the body sustaining the shock of a sudden stop from safety equipment. Now they design most of it to "give way" to slow you down before stopping you completely.
