Professional climbers think abseiling is more dangerous than the climbing itself
because

a rope is carrying the climber’s weight all the time, not only in case of fall.
So doing this sport is prohibited in many areas.
Abseiling caused lots of injuries and death, but nothing can stop really brave people.
If you want to try this extreme sport,
all you need are the equipment,
a high wall and an instructor.
