Abseiling fail: man attempts to abseil from apartment balcony
- published: 18 Mar 2015

Here is something not try from home: abseiling from your apartment balcony. Seriously, don’t try it. A few blokes from Chatham, Medway gave it a go in the UK and the result was a spectacular fail. We can’t say for certain, but we’re sure some amount of alcohol might have been involved. What else could have led this brain trust to believe abseiling from a balcony to be a good idea? Which is just as well, because you’re going to need a few drinks to take the edge of the headache that follows. ------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to TomoWorld, where we animate the biggest headlines from around the world.

Abseiling (
/ˈæbseɪl/ or /ˈɑːpzaɪl/; from German: abseilen meaning "to rope down"), rappelling in American English, is the controlled descent down a rock face using a rope; climbers use this technique when a cliff or slope is too steep and/or dangerous to descend without protection. Rope Access Technicians also use this as a method to access difficult to reach areas at height for various industrial applications like maintenance, inspection, welding, etc. (See Rope access)
Slang terms for the technique include: rapping or rap jumping (American slang), deepelling (Canadian slang), abbing (British slang for "abseiling"), rappling (Hindi slang). The term rappel / rappelling is derived from the French language: French, recall, return, rappel, from Old French, recall, from rappeler, to recall: re-, re- + appeler, to summon.
The origin of the abseil is attributed to Jean Charlet-Straton, a Chamonix guide who lived from 1840–1925. Charlet originally devised the technique of the abseil method of roping down during a failed solo attempt of Petit Dru in 1876. After many attempts, some of them solo, he managed to reach the summit of the Petit Dru in 1879 in the company of two other Chamonix guides, Prosper Payot and Frédéric Folliguet, whom he hired. During that ascent, Charlet perfected the abseil.
