Can't be any more dangerous than the freeways around here as you're the only one on the rope at a given time.

The older I get the less I'd like to do "fun" things like that.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

How long has that cable been there? How securly is it anchored? When was the last time someone competant inspected it?
When I was about 20 I went deer hunting in a national forest. I found a very old deer stand. Old 2x4s, big nails, perched precariously about 20 feet up a tree. Been there God knows how long. Like an idiot, I climbed it. I sat there for about 5 minutes, and shifted around to look behind me. I heard a creak and a snap. Let me tell you, you would be amazed at how fast a white boy can descend 20 feet.
I do not not trust super annuated redneck ingenuity.

I've been roped off to much worse. 

doing things like that are the one thing I miss about being a industrial painter.

WHO CARES!!!!!!! What, do you plan to live forever? I say screw that. I'm gonna do all the crazy stuff I can cause the purpose of life is not to arrive at the pearly gates all perfectly preserved. You should be sliding in sideways battered and abused screaming "what a ride!"  I have said this a few times, (to the shock and disgust of people who care about me) but I truly hope that my last thought on this earth is "oops" After all, when the mistake is big enough, the pain only lasts for a second. And if it doesn't kill me it just gives me the opportunity to get sponge baths from cute college nursing students.  ;)

God grant that I may not be found wanting,
