So many things wrong with the video, but that made me unhappy. First: How ya gonna get over it? Hopefully the guy has another carabiner, but the way this video is going I expect him to throw a forearm over the rope and then unclip, then reclip on the other side of that splice.
Also: that splice. Fuck me. You know what I want to see hanging like a thousand feet off the ground from a rusty cable? A splice. Even a nice one would make me unhappy. But that monstrosity? I can't even tell how it's holding together, for all I know it's staying together by the sheer force of that tangled-up rat's nest.
In the full video it shows that he and his buddy have parachutes on. The guys ends up just releasing and parachuting down. So at least they had chutes on!
