CMI ROPEJACK
This is like waking up on the Christmas morning. Now I have to postpone my schedule for 1 hour and 32 minutes.
Like sneaking out Christmas eve to catch Mom filling stockings while Santa drinks booze and talks dirty. Incredibly generous of you all to share real deep knowledge.
Many years ago some mates and I did a 45m rope jump off a bridge in Sydney. Straight drop, no pendulum, dynamic rope. We were anchored to a small hatchback (slings through the windows and then under the car). We had a backup with about 2m extra slack. The drop itself was terrifying, but the shock load was painless. After about 8 drops we noticed that the car had been dragged sideways about 10cm. We assumed this was due to the initial load causing the suspension on the car to load in a weird way, and the car sort of "walking" sideways a tiny bit every jump. Eventually the car would have stopped, there was no way we were going to pull the thing over the parapet of the bridge, but it was frightening to see the effect of the force in the system.
No one got hurt, but I highly recommend that no-one ever use this system.
I don’t take part in any sports that use a rope but just enjoyed 90 minutes of rope info 😂
And I feel I need to listen to more!
I'm the same way. I ride dirt bikes😂 I don't climb, don't plan to climb, etc, but I've been hooked on this channel for the last 6 months or so. I love seeing the passionate pursuit for information that the HowNot2 team has!
“Get ready for Andy Lewis” yeah that describes him pretty well. Basically every time I’ve talked to someone who has talked to him. They basically have that attitude.
This has been the most informative discussion on rope jumps I've ever seen! Especially pared with the article on HowNot2 I'm still a little unsure of how hauling works. What I've seen in Bungee is a ring slide down the lines the jumper clips to and that hauls them back.
I think discussing all the factors that go into a successful rope jump does nothing but demonstrate the complexity, preventing would-be copycats
This video shows a lot about hauling czcams.com/video/C4JgXHpvV2Y/video.html and others in our rope jumping playlist
Yes this video doesn't explain it clearly, nor I think it was meant to. What you're describing with the ring sliding down the line, the jumper clipping in and then being hauled back up is basically exactly the same thing as was partially described multiple times in this video with lowering the carabiner from the fulcrum to the jumper to clip in the haul line.
This conversation should be required listening for everyone from engineers to scuba instructors. The way of thinking about multiple risks (including external effects), types of users/clients, redundancy, recovery scenarios, transcend... gravity and ropes.
Great job! Now the practical video that shows the rigging.
When the guy on the left is jokingly advocating tandems with “one body can be a cushion for the other” I lost it. Great group to learn from. The humor carves their lessons in your head.
I should have gone to sleep an hour ago but this is such a great video, I couldn’t stop watching!
Glad you liked it!!
I can't explain how much I value this information.
Will I ever rig? Nope. Would I swing? Absolutely!
This is great information for my personal proclivity, and also falls into my work life.
Awesome stuff! I definitely wanna know more about swinging
Awesome explanations for different rigs and reasons why and why not ❤
Met a really rad guy at a high line fest at smith named lucky chance who died rope swinging. Amazingly wild and 1000% unique dude. Not that he wasn’t knowledgeable in what he was doing however this info could help anybody interested in such endeavors, and doing it “safely.” As always more info can’t hurt. After watching the whole video. And hearing Andy acknowledge lucky jump. If I remember right he had based off the swing a ton but never rope swinged before… so the length makes sense being the issue.
Absolute masterpiece of a video Ryan, thank you! I have done the Looking Glass rope swing maybe a dozen times at this point, but this provides SO much crucial info about how to scale things up if we ever decide to. Keep up the great work with this channel man.
The explanation of complacency was excellent.
I just loved this conversation
At the start I was like "oh 1.5hour video about rope jumping etc., probably won't interest me that much since I don't have major plans of doing it" and almost turned the video off... but I didn't and then I was glued to the screen for the whole time. I had only seen Andy once before in the drone rigging video scooting over a line that by all logic should have broken from the load and he's exactly the kind of riot I'd have expected from that short clip 😆.
Enjoyed this unexpectedly much and looking forward to more long form discussion videos 🥰.
Dam I need to wait till I'm home so I can fully digest this video. Thought it was gonna be just another break test .. been waiting for this video for so long
Having now fully digested this video all I can say is i want more .. you given so much to think about ..amazing content and information. Keep it up guys .. Andy your fucking hilarious mate what a guy 😂😂😂
Andy was definitely the class clown in school 😂 Loving this kinda content!
Definitely, a railway track is my favorite anchor point!
Very valuable technically. Thanks, gents!
I'm not into climbing or rope jumping but as an engineer, not throwing a 100% weight or 150% weighted bag first is just crazy to me. Especially on new equipment.
I understood about 20% of this but loved 100% .
Exact same!
Great Vid, would love to see some real world setups somtime. Thanks!
thanks you very much
Best rope swing I've ever seen was in 1971, in the Short (movie) "Solo". I might consider doing that with today's equipment, but not with what we had back then.
We in here 🎉
Crazy guy BASE jump Moab made it interesting
You should try tensioning a rope (span) with an arborist block or GRCS or a ronin. Lock them with a rig or hitch cord with stopper knot. Then you can lower the whole system with jumper to the ground and then rest quickly. Like rigging down a tree.
I'd like to know more about Dan Osman accident as in what the failure mode was...
How about tree anchors, I'm trying to study wich kind off tree, how big has to be and where is nice to hold as a safety anchor. do you have any content on that matter?
Sketchy Andy Is the best and it is totally clear when he jokes and when he doesnt, great vid AND if I lived in USA I would go be the first ax they have base jumping
You’d have to add a swivel to the tail ot it would twist. The swivel separates fixed and moving backing it up would basically remove the effect
Best of luck on being super sustainable enough!
Great content! Enjoy this type of format.The three of you are very entertaining. I would pay to see the cut content 💰
is there any chance for some subtitles with metric units added in postproduction? just flashing numbers when you are talking about lengths
Dan Osman was the pioneer of this dangerous game. Russian Roulette with ropes
Does anyone know what the heck that cam is he opened in the beginning?
"I think he opened, that's good" lmao when that's said it's never good
Finally
1:27:55 "I don't know how to do my taxes. I could learn, I'm not going to but I could." THE IRS WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION. Jk.
1:31:30 Yes we do!
The thought of using rigging plates (aluminum) as the master point is scary to me. Is cyclic loading not a concern because there are normally 2-36kn plates?
Or even web blocks made from aluminum like balance communities?
Has this been tested? It would be incredible to see some data on aluminum getting cyclically loaded to like 10kn and see how many cycles it takes before failure.
❤❤❤❤
i saw footage and talked to people that were there when a dinema mainline failure happen on a rope swing that was being sessioned conclusion was static mainline generated more forcethan dinamic.
You could jump into a rope.
The rope has more aerodynamic float, than a person. P09}1
Cushion!!!
haha .. dude is so hilariously evil .. in a good way
The guy on the left knows his shit, not that the others don't.
Yeah I’m not gonna be doing that
What is a gainer? Don’t understand some of the jargon 😕
It's a reverse rotation somersault (so you're running forward but then perform a backflip).
Never felt more confident to yeet myself off a cliff !
And steel is cleaner to your hands and clothes
Jenks chair really pushing that shadow sponsorship from ManScaped
so you talked a couple times about how dangerous the rope can be to fingers. Why not just use some kind of gloves to protect against that.
I just quickly want to say that you 100% DO NEED ABSORPTION / STRETCH in your span… 13:09 you guys say the opposite and that’s a big no-no… Main lines fail with a big enough shock load and not enough stretch even when they’re close to 300 meters long.
Dan Osman was not here!
He was probably there in spirit tho
How does a video that is 1 hour and 32 minutes long have over 700 views when it has only been published for 20 min?
30 seconds is a view on CZcams
Videos get released to patrons before they’re are made public
TL;DR : everything will be fine and you should go rig your own rope swing. Everyone will think you're so cool.
First?
What are these guys talking about tensioning ropes with ID's and Gri Gri's for? Use two or three pulleys and a prussik....
Why does he seem so mad in this lol
I agree. Felt weirdly combative at a lot of points
He didnt look mad to me. It just looks like there were times when he was trying to give some serious information, and there were one too many jokes being made about dangerous situations.
Seems kind of sketchy.
Carlo so che guarderai questo video, non fare minchiate!
Andy's 'humour' sours this discussion somewhat. :/
You guys need sit down and face each other and have a convo. It would feel more natural. Imo
Bro your talking with the hands and moving your hands so much in all those ways really have me distracted from what your trying to say in your videos
