Russians' Insane Garden Hose Bungee Jumping at Cooling Tower

submitted by mintbbb

1 decade 2 years 9 months 3 weeks ago

YouTube Description:

RUSSIAN daredevils leap off the side of a COOLING TOWER using a makeshift bungee jump in a staggering show of courage. One after the other they hurl themselves at the bottom of the industrial chimney -- before the slack rope snaps taught and they hurtle towards the wall of the abandoned tower. The six wear top hats and capes for the plunge, and are connected to a rope tied to another spanning the opening. But terrifyingly, as the camera pans back it reveals the men are secured to the wall of the tower only by GARDEN HOSE.

It looks to me that they're using the garden hose to prevent scraping their bungee lines against the concrete; there's bungee cord running through all that hosing, so they're not exactly as insane as you might have thought.

Still a cool sight, considering the industrial building.

Yeah, there's ropes in there..but still a good video.

"..staggering show of courage..."?!? Staggering demonstration of stupidity.

I kept waiting for the rope fail with every one of those!

Looks like a very well rigged system actually. They have two ropes on the jumper and two ropes on the swing system. Hard to tell how many places they have the ropes anchored... but the title and description are misleading.
