Specifically the 'stretchiness' of the ropes? I'm doing a math project on this, have come up with a model, and am now after some real life data to test it out (after all, I don't want my punters banging their heads on the rocks below - not good for business
).
For the physicists/maths bods it's the spring constant that I'm after, preferably for several ropes.

I think it is AJ Hackett in New Zealand who run/ran the biggies in NZ, do a search.
I jumped off the Pipeline once, decided if I was going to do it then I might as well do it properly. 104m/340ft. Great fun.
