All activities involve inherent risk, it's important to remember that knowledge helps us manage that risk that our eyes sometimes cannot see. My hope is that the video will teach you something before you jump or help you understand what can go wrong. My buddies and I set off to swing the arch in November of last year. My intention was to show people how to rig and jump it safely, the video is long overdue. Please share the video in hopes that other thrill seekers won't make the same mistakes.
As rock climbers Maciej and I understand anchors,rigging, and dynamic rope very well. So if you are to attempt the swing make sure you do too.
There's been some discussion about lowering, I apologize for not adding that to the video. We lowered off the same ropes we swung on. We had a rappel device already in the rope below our knots. Hopefully you can figure out the rest from there, if not feel free to send a message.
Many thanks to Dylan Thompson who was brave enough to jump first and forgo the bag of rocks, this was the second time Maciej had set this swing up :-)
Any questions regarding this please feel to free to give me a call at 617-756-5214, I don't usually pick up foreign numbers but leave a message and I'll get back to ya.
