At the same time, you don’t put THAT much stress on that rope. Rope swinging is way easier on the rope than a lead fall where you end up below your belayer (assuming you are in a multi-pitch)

You are also swinging and the tension on the rope gets added slowly since the anchor is far away from you and horizontally. Again, very different than when climbing and you have a fall where all the tension goes on the rope instantly.

Climbing rope is only designed to take a certain number of falls…then again the way they designed the sling I’m guessing these guys know what they’re doing.

I wonder how many times the ropes got used.  At what point is it no longer safe to put that much tension on it?

I really like this guy’s style of filming, also in the human slingshot video.
