Fun Facts about Abseiling

Abseiling is also know as:

Rappelling, rap jumping, deepelling or rope down

According to Wikipedia:

Australian abseiling is the process of descending a fixed rope in a standing position while facing the ground.

The technique is used as a military 'assault' technique whereby a soldier is belayed, allowing them to face down the descent and fire a weapon.

In Australia, the technique is not commonly known as "Australian", or even "rappelling"; instead the term "abseiling" is more commonly used and the technique is referred to as "Geneva" style.

The Break Away team just call it "another day in the office!"
