rope access question (on your own gear) 14-Dec-2011 At 12:56:36 PM cjradloff76

can people actually abseil buildings on your own gear the same you use at the cliffs. i know that building managers might not like the idea. ive seen it done on youtube and in the UK library (youtube). they done it off bridges etc. mostly done overseas.
can it be done here WITHOUT being arrested and fined like some of the yob nobs that did it off the ANZ building in brissy and the sydney harbour bridge.
a fine would break my business and my reputation.
im not taking the risks. its not even in any written law "conducting highrisk unregulated activity"

cheers

EDIT;- i did find a law re-this so i was mistaken. so it is an offence in QLD to conduct unregulated high risk activity. maybe ill move interstate
