That's insane! Hadn't seen that one before, but I'm glad he recovered and is still able to do it.

Just got back from Shanghai late last night. The size of those buildings is staggering. The fact that those guys are climbing them in that smoke ridden air is crazy though. None of what you saw there was fog or clouds... Slightly dissapointed as I was waiting for them to jump and parachute. .

I've only fallen about 30 feet and it happens so quickly you almost can't process it before it's over. Now when your forearms are burning and you're quickly losing grip strength and you know you're about to take a huge fall...that kinda sucks.
The body is intrinsically top heavy, it takes less than 2 body lengths for you to go inverted when falling

Even less if you're not careful and let the rope get behind your legs just before you fall. I can't lie, falling headfirst and watching the ground rush at you is terrifying.
Wouldn't bother me one bit.
