No difference what so ever, its an extreme sport and these canyon swingers are going to go into tighter and tighter canyons/creeks... just like the skydiver wanted an extra thrill by being closer to the bridge.


Before this turns into a debate, I do appreciate what they do and it is fun otherwise people wouldn't do it but as I originally said, someone will be hurt sadly by a rope snapping, the hold letting go or even hitting the wall, which is a shame but a risk they obviously wish to take for the thrill.
