Um, I'm not a physics geek nor have I ever high-lined but it seems pretty clear that it's going to produce huge amounts of force, especially if you whipper on to lanyard in the middle. That's basically a fall factor 2 onto a line which is going to multiply the force something like 550% compared to a regular fall on lead. (http://www.ropebook.com/information/vector-forces). And I don't think this video is very good example of what should be acceptable level of risk for regular folk. Daniel Ahnen, the guy on the line is someone who pushed it at a different level to most (he died in the Himalayas a couple of years ago).
