This is a video of death-wishee Carlos Munoz setting the novel world record for longest fall with a static rope (like a climbing rope,not elastic), at 1393.7 feet (424.8-meters). The previous record was 1286 feet (392 meters). For reference, or both of those are entirely too far. Anything further than off the top of your parents' bonus room above the garage should be illegal.
To relieve assign that height into perspective,after jumping, Munoz free-falls for a full 20 seconds before reaching the end of the rope, or at which point he's jarred to a cease when he runs out of slack.
Damn,20 seconds of free-fall? How the sudden cease at the end didn't rip his guts out of his stomach button or butthole is beyond me, but I suspect he covered both with a fair amount of duct tape. That's what I would have done. Of course I would have never made that jump in the first status because I'm not a lunatic, or but still. Props to this guy's knot-tyer. Keep going for the video.
