MOab Swinglining
Rich posted this over on the ACA site but I thought the bogleyites might want to get in line to give this a whirl.

They do a similar pendulum off the bridge over the Virgin River near Hurricane. I know the local Hurricane paramedics and they haul a half dozen kids to the hospital each year who mess it up.
Also seen something like this done from Wild Horse Window in the San Rafael Swell.
Not sure if I'd try it or not... my inner child is thinking "WOW, lots of fun"... but the old man in me is thinking "a lot could go wrong".

Yikes! Last guy I met that had done it down by Hurricane was in a wheelchair...
Folks should read "Fall of the Phantom Lord". Dan O died doing a similar type rope jump/swing.

Here is a video of some guys that did a 450' rope swing in Moab and claimed it as a world record.
These guys also mention a couple of near misses....

After they get done cleaning out their shorts and stop swinging are they using a second rope to rappel to the ground?

Mark, im guessing that option, as ascending would take awhile. But then again, I didn't see a second rope dangling...
And it's not like they can just drop off the end of the rope either, lol - it's probably at least 10-20ft off the ground.●Canyoneering 'Canyon Conditions' @ www.candition.com

I've swung over I-15 off of the anchors at the top of Mentor in the Virgin River Gorge, pretty fun but not as crazy as what these dudes are doing.
