It goes against everything you know, but why abseil
when you can drop down face first and actually confront
the full horror of your fall? It's
called Rap Jumping otherwise known as forward abseiling;
air-borne rappel jumping or Aussie rappel. So how
about it?
How about descending face first with a rope and a
harness down a building, cliff face, bridge, crane,
helicopter (a la Tom Cruise - Mission Impossible 2)
or just about anything that towers into the air?
Well, that's what rap jumping is all about, Rap Jumping
is a technique that was developed about 14 years ago
in Australia for their special forces, and look at
us now!
