Rap Jumping fastest World Record 2sec Dermot Brereton on Getaway

[gobprnosirve]

The problem is not the static rope the only problem with this is that the rope can reach high temperatures also the figure 8 get very hot. I do not recomend more than 150 ft of jump at this velocity or you will brake the rope. I Did this on a 200 ft drop and my rope and figure 8 were very very hot. I was told by some experts that it was very dangerous

I just did this today! It's great fun!!

Static Line? Bicycle Helmet? And why is he holding the rope like that? These guys have no clue what they are doing. You cant run down the wall holding the rope like that...that's just stupid. The best way is to assume the iron cross body position at the top of the rappel. The rope should extend out from your back to your right hand...run freely through your hand as you run...then come across your chest to brake at the bottom.

@longboardRAVE I do not see a problem using a static line here...  and for the helmet I know it is not the best for this situation but they are well rated for protecting you so not much problem there.... as for the technic I will have to agree with you.

Perhaps you can tell me why you do not recommend static line here?

[vivid007]

and he really believes that crappy bicycle helmet will do something?

[NYpaddler]

@vivid007 That was my first thought, too, but then I considered that when I go for a bike ride I'm willing to trust my bike helmet while knowing that one of the things that could happen is getting hit by a car. I guess I hope the bike helmet will do the trick because I really don't want to wear a heavier helmet, and I figure that I'm not too likely to have a mishap. For rappelling, especially if I intended to go that fast, I would be using a much better helmet.

[vivid007]

@NYpaddler yeah but i would still use something with a Snell certification so i could bash it a few times

[imslimcrazy]

@NYpaddler my video has a much faster rap jump than this.

[UrbanKnight12]

after watching this all i can say is WHY??

[PLAlfa]

can i do it on static line with big jumpes? or its just too risky

[blarg4847]

@PLAlfa You need a dynamic line.

[PLAlfa]

@blarg4847 are you 100% sure? couse i heard that rapeling on dynamic line is pointless,,and it makes rapeling even more difficoult than on static line,, dynamic line stratch too much

[rainmechanic]

Dude had a massive adrenaline dump...
