  • An easier way could possibly be standing on top of the edge and slowly lean back and walk down the wall (providing the device is locked or tied off.) The brake rack is a decent rappelling device but I found a new rappel device that is excellent and small, that is the newly created Scarab rescue tool, simular to the break rack but lighter and more diverse.

  • what dum asses

  • Yeow!

  • not a very clean transition, plumb point was way off. Should never let go of rope with right hand. Brake Bar Racks are not like Figure 8 as far as using body as friction device, right hand should stay close to rack not behind back.

  • hi im joel i have 4 years  experiencia i lookingfor a job my cellnumber is 9736511280 im serius

  • The other way is to set a large prussik loop above the decent device and hang it over the edge. Step into the prussik as it gives you a step, and away you go.

  • Doesn't he know that you should never let go of the runing end of the rope and also when starting a rappel with a rescue rack all bars should be properly engaged, he was missing one. Other than that a good try

  • Thats why its better to lower than rappel just pass a knot and biner over the edge.

  • Soo many things to go wrong, soo little time!

    Don't "shove the rope in a rack, don't go over the edge without the descent device tied off, or at least locked off....

  • The easier way of getting over a parapet/ledge on rope is to straddle it between your legs. Then tie off the rappel device with enough slack so when you swing your leg over the edge you sit comfortably just below the ledge.
