wow! that was amazing.

Metal….

WHOOOAAA! Now that’s using physics to your advantage!

i need this in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!im next!!!!!!!!!!!

this is extremely dangerous and the negative factors against it counteract any possibly positives. as “cool” as this looks there will never be any possible way to make this safe while including the act of suspension, even with a safety harness this is still not SAFE.

This has bad idea written all over it. I agree that there may be no safe way to do this. Also:

-I am going to have to call that rope from the harness that rides up over his back contaminated.
-what is up with all of the extra rope hanging around the front of his harness there?
-if anything goes wrong on the way down and the hooks do not arrest any of his momentum, his back is going to snap like a twig when his weight hits the harness.

I love the “idea” of this. my concern is with the backup harness, in the video it looks like if the primary rigging fails he will fall another 20′ or so, look at about 1:39 mark the bunch of line under his arm.

ignoring the fact the rope from the harness is contaminated, its the same rope that the rigging is attatched to.this means that there is one line that is holding both the rig and the harness.yes i understand that is normal practise in the community to attatch the harness to the rig or the bottom of the block but in this case you are putting all trust in that one line and what ever that line is anchored to and how its anchored and so on.
its easy for me to sit on my couch and judge and pressume that their rigging is going to be crap as it might not be but common sense will always give me doubt as to this being at all safe.

there is a more detailed video here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K-Og1IMiGw&feature=related

this shows their setup but doesnt show a close up of the actuall drop.
it shows that there are 4 hooks in a stacked suicide (?) position, which have a line to each pair and have the rope terminated on to the hooks.
as much as i dont want to sound like a preacher and turn this into a issue of comments about how bad people can be in the suspension community, but there are a hell of a lot of wrong doings in this video and there needs to be a way that these people can be helped and educated before uploading this to the masses .

I’m sure the last thing on this guys mind before he jumped off that bridge with the intent of acting as a human pendulum was the sterility of the rope attached to his rig. There’s no such thing as safe suspension. Any rational minded individual could tell you this was a bad idea but from where I see it he pulled it off however primitive his means. Now it’s up to all of you pros and veterans to revise the formula now that the bar has been set.

“I’m sure the last thing on this guys mind before he jumped off that bridge with the intent of acting as a human pendulum was the sterility of the rope attached to his rig”

that should have been on his mind way before he jumped

Granted.

ALL SHITTIN ASIDE SAY WHAT U WANT THAT WAS ONE PART STUPID AND ONE PART BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AS FAR AS SAFETY GOES………. anit no such thing as a safe suspension but that my friend was pushing the limints and i like it

!!!!!ITS ALWAYS A RISK OR SAFTY HAZZARD NO MATTER HOW U HANG!!!!!!!!

LIL CRAZY MAYB A LIL UN STERILE WITH THE RIGGING BUT I BET UR SWEET ASS HE WAS THE ONLY ONE RIDDING THAT RIG THAT DADY!!!!!!!

HOOK LOVE

chad out!

good fucking approach towards suspension, fuck safety and get hanging! YEAH LETS FUCK SAFETY, STERILE EQUIPMENT AND PUBLIC OPINION AND ROCK THE WORLD!! YEAH ASLONG AS WE LOOK COOL AND LOOK GOOD DOING IT THEN IT DONT MATTER!!@!@!@!@

dick

Go fuck yourself, арсений =)

Oh my God

This is something he did for himself. It is doubtful that he in any way wanted this video to be a ‘how to’ and was simply sharing his experience. If there are things he did that you wouldn’t…. fine. If you wouldn’t suspend with his team because of these concerns…. fine. These issues in no way diminish what he accomplished, nor is it likely that they in any way diminished his experience.

Stop your armchair quaterbacking and appreciate the video for what it is. A visually STUNNING suspension.

dude that is the sickest shit evah!!! keep that shit up, i cant wait to try it

i love it but its not a suspension i woude do
im to scard of hights

Hi there. I am the leader of The Sinner Team and it`s me jumping in free fall video.

I would like to say a few words about our equipmend and about measures that we take to ensure the safety of our suspension.

The first thing I would like to announce that our team is professionally engaged in addition to suspension more and rope-jumping. we are able to do jumps – a specialist of rope-jumping in our team working on this for over three years, and for more – he is a reservist of the Moscow Rescue Service. He has all the skills necessary for safety in extreme situations. Only experience in rope-jumping allowed us to finally implement the free fall suspension. Lots of jumps without hooks.

Now a bit about equipment. We use a system of compensation breakthrough from rope-jumping as a primary attachment – two dynamic ropes, which blow jerk. In the case of rupture of one of them – I just hang on a safety rope. These systems are difficult to see in the video, so here’s a photo of this rehearsal jump.
(Yes, there was also the first jump – a smaller scale, in which we have tested all the systems work in safer conditions)

On this photo, I went down – so the rope can be clearly seen. These are two ropes, which are attached and two jumping rope. That is, it means that all systems are duplicated – to the ends of two ropes attached frame and insurance. In this photo, I went down – so the rope can be clearly seen. These are two ropes, which are attached and two jumping rope. That is, it means that all systems are duplicated – to the ends of two ropes fixed frame and a safety belt. in this photo is clearly visible.

Also to a safety belt tied extra jumping rope – for some people it seems that it is a safety-line and that is too long. It is not. The extra jumping rope appears because when I try to jump in front of this without hooks I make more free fall, but before jumping to the hooks we make it shorter. I do not cut it – just twist and tie to a belt. Here is one more photo – here you can clearly see the harness and a short safety-rope.

And here is the whole video from the first jump – there is about three times less free fall and two hooks. That is how I tested my idea, after a lots of jumps without hooks.

Only after all of this preparations I was sure in my skill and equipment to perform this jump.

Also I want to say that our team had performed over 400 (!) suspensions during first two years since we had formed. It means that it was not like “I know nothing about suspensions, but I will jump to become cool”.

I believe in safety. But even more I believe in oppotunity to make this jumps real. This is a really GREAT expirience, for which you can go to a specific risk. I can. I am 24, I am married and I do not want to die – but I am not afraid to make my dreams real.

Now I am thinking about the ultimate model of closed hooks and going to deal with the increase of free fall – but only after a lots of work in rope-jumping. This is what I want to do – and this is the greatest expirience i have ever had)) I know about the risk. But I trust my teammates and I have balls to take this risk)) I really LOVE it.

i love suspension do suspension as a job and as a stage show and that is OFF the HOOK,
My hole shop just stopped to watch that video to much bro,
you got balls of surgical steel
BIG UP and MAD PROPS

keep it up push the bar
