The Belay Control dude on the ground is only there to help you, arrest your descent if necessary... Interesting story, though - I've bounced, from 52 feet up. Edited December 11, 2021 by 98Z5V

I free-dove out of a 52-foot tower, supermanned that dive, and landed flat. I bounced so hard I landed back up directly on my feet. And that was for a demonstration... NOT intentional.

I've been fucked up alot, in life. "Hit by a Helicopter" is a good campfire story. I'm still here, though. Somehow. God loves me for some reason, I can't figure it out.
