Jerome's Rope Swing of Death. This rope swing is awesome, there is about a 6 to 8 foot drop before you actually catch the rope and start swinging. From the ground to the release point is about 30 to 35 feet. It was shot with a GoPro and edited in Pinnacle Studio 16. The sun was going down and we were losing light so the quality of the video is not as good as it could be.
