From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swing jumping (also called "rope swing jumping", "pendular rope swing jumping from bridge" or "bridging") is an activity that involves jumping from a bridge connected to a commensurate climbing rope. The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building, bridge or crane; but it is also possible to jump from a movable object, such as a hot-air-balloon or helicopter, that has the ability to hover above the ground. The thrill comes from the free-falling and the rebound.[1] When the person jumps, the cord stretches and the jumper flies upwards again as the cord recoils, and continues to oscillate up and down until all the kinetic energy is dissipated.
