You should be able to follow the url iggy gave you. Jests just say it is a rope between to canyon walls and you have a rope around you and it is tied to about the middle of the crossing rope. You leap off and fall and then your rope reaches its end and you #$%* your pants and start swinging back and forth.
Kinda like a modified bungie jump ;D

Stupid or have a lot of money.

From the heights they are falling they can only do that about 5 times maximum on that dynamic rope, then the rope is toast.

Oh, you could jump more than 5 times on that rope but no sane or smart person would.
