you've gotta see this!
Anyone got 2200m of rope? (all in one length!) - thats 7218 feet!
120km/h - 75mph!
And most likely a helicopter to install it! Or perhaps a decent powered Radio controlled drone running out decent strength 2mm dynema line or something which the rope could then be installed from.
Fair game - those bearings are screaming!

nupe - it was a full size chopper.
don't like the guy initially trying to feed the rope out almost getting tangled up - eeek!
heres video showing how they set it up.
