Rope jumping, is the extreme sport of jumping off a high cliff while tied to a long climbing rope which is itself statically tied to a highline-anchor system at the top of the cliff. Rope jumping is notably different from the act of bungee jumping as there is much less stretch in the climbing rope, which allows the rope-jumper to experience a much longer sensation of freefall before the sensation of any arrest.
