Rope jumping, also known as rope free-flying, is the extreme sport of jumping off a cliff while anchored to a highline system with a rope.[1][2] This is notably different from bungee jumping as there is little stretch in the rope, allowing the jumper to have a longer freefall, stopping closer to the ground.
