When Swinging From an Arch Goes Wrong | Disastrous Feat in Moab
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- On March 25, 2013, in the heart of Utah's desert, a young man named Kyle Lee stood beneath the magnificent Corona Arch. Corona Arch is a geological marvel with stunning natural landscapes that Utah is renowned for. In February of 2012, filmmaker Devin Graham assembled a group of 12 friends and journeyed to the famous Arch near Moab. The resulting footage, titled "The World's Largest Rope Swing," amassed 20 million views on RUclips, attracting a wave of adventurous enthusiasts to the site. Many people were going there to swing after the craze took off from the popular RUclips video. Nevertheless, this didn’t stop adventure seekers like Kyle Lee Stocking from attempting the feat. All understood the danger of the activity.

I’m one of the detractors. I would be upset to hike to a canyon for a spiritual connection, especially an arch in Moab, and see and hear this kind of commotion because adrenaline junkies took over.
Great story, OD.
That's because you were raised to believe the world is all about you.
@@pandaangry1267do they really?
I've never heard of rope swinging before this if they really did then you would think most people would know about this like the people who take pictures on top of buildings
@@pandaangry1267 Wrong. You don't know what those rope swingers were thinking. You're assuming.
Thrill seeking is the way for them to enjoy life as much as sitting around and looking at nature is the way for you (and most complainers) to enjoy life. I'm not saying people like you are bad. Quite the opposite - you all seem to want to build a world where getting a papercut is impossible.
Good luck with that.
@@migmigjohnson9351 I think that would apply more to the people who are satisfying their thrill seeking and spoiling it for others.
@@migmigjohnson9351 Clearly you didn't think that comment through.
Nothing better than a 150 foot jump with a 160 foot rope.
Nothing like failing physics. Your tax dollars at work.
That’s what happened?
You would think he would’ve been a test drop first at the very least😮
Why didn't they do a test run with a bag of sand or something ? Because that isn't cool.
🤣🤣
And this year's Wile E. Coyote Award goes to .........
Excellent 😅
I'm not sure how Acme hasn't been sued into oblivion by now.
Who?
The only place you are likely to find LDS swingers ;)
😆😂😅
The damage to the arches alone should make it illegal, nevermind the danger to the humans who are dumb enough to do it. If such things are the only way you can enjoy life, I think your senses are too dull.
Real nature-lovers need to quit posting their cool videos online.. they are doing it for innocent reason. But some dickheads from IG that think influencer is a career will go blow the spot up and try to rope it off like they are filming a movie.. or try and film themselves doing it for views cause FOMO.
It’s fascinating and depressing.
Often former drug addicts.
Of course there is damage to the structure. It's sandstone.
And here we have the answer to that question often asked by middle school math students, “when am I ever going to need to know this in real life?”.
I thought it was more like physics...and in general, you know they have a point.
I personally don't think it's courage that they do this I think it's ego I think it's complete lack of care and concern for the historic surroundings. And I'm grateful that the park shut it down😊
No it takes courage. Just admit you don't have it. This wasn't in a park it was on public BLM land. The archs in the parks have always been protected. There were only a couple archs that were not protected that these people can have their experience at.
@@PHUCKyoutube689it takes courage to be an idiot got it good advice
@@beastmodeforever8674 It does actually. You don't have the balls to do it. They know the risk and choose to do it anyway. Until one has experienced the reward, they wouldn't know if the person doing it was an idiot or not.
@@PHUCKyoutube689 yea I don't have the balls to kill myself great logic 👍🏽😂
@@beastmodeforever8674 Yeah hundreds if not thousands of jumps and what? One or two deaths. The guy jumping was an idiot, yes but you and others are lumping hundreds of successful jumpers, that take the proper safety precautions with one or two guys.
Salute to whoever wrote the conclusion. It's not syrup on pancakes - it's a well thought-out, soberly analyzed, beautifully written and expressed call to play sensibly in the outdoors. Was the rope pre-stretched? How much effort and time would it have taken to drop the rope off for a visual confirmation, and haul it back up? You get what you inspect - not necessarily what you expect.
the length does seem like it would be the one thing you would make sure of- if anything. from the opinion of someone who would never do anything like this anyways.
I am surprised, and also happy, that this article did not delve into the technical mistakes made by Kyle and his group. The rope is not "pre-stretched", that is not how climbing ropes work - a technical flub early in the article. And yes, people who know what they are doing load up a duffle bag with 200 lbs and drop that first, to make sure they have the length correct. And then shorten it another 10 feet, just to be sure. SAD.
"You get what you inspect - not necessarily what you expect."
I will take that as a battle cry for my engineering work. Thanks.
THIS! The best part of your comment is "You Get What You Inspect - Not Necessarily What You Expect!"!
Lame platitudes
I have a fear of confined spaces, a fear of fire, and a fear of heights. They all have served me well.
For anyone who hasnt been there you cant imagine how scenic Utah is. And Ive only been to the Moab and Canyonlands area. So much variety and even in the desert often there are snowcapped peaks on the horizon.
Been there a few times. My favorite place on planet earth. Incredible landscape.
And sometimes as you drive north, you can see random waterfalls along the highway. Utah is a true adventurer’s paradise
Measure twice, jump once.
haha best comment
Actually Measure twice, jump more than once 🙈
How about respect this amazing planet and don’t jump at all 😡
How could anyone "MISCALCULATE" the length of rope necessary for a safe and successful swing from an arch?
I would have measured and checked my measurements time and again, with the final measurement made by lowering the swing rope with a rock attached to the bottom to make sure the rock didn't come anywhere near the ground, and subtracted 15 feet for good measure!
My guess they didn't do the checks. When watching videos about people swinging from the arch, saw many times when they tied a heavy sack to the line and swung it.
Better idea? Just stay off the mountain. Still alive.
@@outdoordisastersdid any reports say who rigged up the stuff before the guy jumped?
My advice is that if you are going to do a rope swing from a 200 ft arch, don't use a 210 ft rope.
He got the entire rope kit from ... Acme. Supplier to the Coyote.
@@davidc3648haha how hard is it to tie a backpack to the rope as a dry run.
RIP Kyle. What a tough way to go. Seems like they didn't do the proper safety precautions like swinging a rock or something from the line to make sure. One thing that comes to mind is his friends not only watching it, but thinking about if one of them had gone first. Best channel on YT, hands down!
I hate people climbing, base jumping bungee swinging or anything in our canyons. Too many blood stains all over Utah. I hate it
@@sheilaathay2034 I hate you being in Utah... please leave.
Hahaha, he will be missed.
A lot of flowery speech to say that jumping off a high point with a rope longer than the drop is about as insane as it gets. Turns out evolution works to preserve at least a minimum standard of mental competence in the species.
Not just insane but stupid
Flowery isn't the word, I think this was written by some Hollwood writer out on strike. I think he passed the audition.
@@kidynamite58 Also, I wonder how the writer knew what this man was thinking while falling to his terrible death?
I remember that old saying “ Go take a long walk off a short pier.”
Yikes!! What a crazy thing to do!! To each his own I guess.🤔 As always, thank you so much for another awesome video ❤️
Based on the laws of probability, seems to me it was only a matter of time when someone was either going to get severely/critically injured, or die [most likely from human error].
Obviously, its an extreme sport. As such, injury and death are a part of the package deal.
RIP K Lee
Thankfully I can find enough thrills in life without throwing myself off a cliff attached only by a rope that may or may not hold me. Geee eesh!

The best example yet of human error is the guy who forgot his parachute.
How the hell does anyone know what Kyle was thinking? He hit the ground and died instantly.
Thank you for this video.
He/they did not check and verify the correct length of the rope. So much for, "He knows what he's doing. Everything gets double- and triple-checked for safety."
I feel great sympathy for all the friends and family whose hearts were broken by this tragic, nonsensical, needless death. It is almost 11 years later. I bet dollars to doughnuts that they still mourn him and grieve the loss.
Why did they allow ropes on this beautiful arch?
"...a profound lesson in embracing uncertainty and confronting fear." Perfectly stated, OD.
Offer me 1 billion cash to do this and the answer would still be ‘ nope I like my sofa better ‘ 🤣🤣🤣
Good morning! Thank you for the video! I've never heard of this before and makes me a bit nervous to watch all these people jump although I'm a thrill seeker I admit I wouldn't try it because it looks like they come so close to the ground and rock walls as they swing. It's so tragic that Kyle's life was taken attempting to try this especially since he was so young and had his whole life ahead of him. I pray that Kyle's family will find peace and comfort, and may Kyle rest in peace 🕊️🙏
I can't think of it as his life being "taken." No one took it, nothing took it. Not even him. He jumped, it went wrong, that's it. His life abruptly ended. Period.
Can I just say how beautifully written the script was - great job!
❤❤
This is so disrespectful to the natural wonders of this country, and the people that enjoy it responsibly. I can't feel bad for anyone who takes themselves out like this.
Abusing these beautiful sites this way should be illegal. It makes me sick to see selfish idiots ruining things for everyone else.
I agree. Hiking trails too. Scars the landscape.
No respect.
Harsh.
TRAVEL ADVISORY:
Confucius say, “Man who tie rope then swing from ancient rock formation surely going to Bangkok.”
sum ting wong....wie tu lo !!! bang ding ow !!!
😂
as a very proud U-tanion i fully believe that these areas are very majestic & very old & everyone should in deed try to see these beautiful areas we have to offer but respect should always be given to those in these areas & to these beautiful arches themselves as we truly are lucky to still have them available & not ropped off like so many other areas of the like here in Utah, as this to one day like so many other areas of the like will soon be unavailable to the public is my prediction.
Social media has ruined more unique places than anything else. I've lived in Bali for a long time and I cringe every time a RUclipsr posts another "I discovered a secret paradise in Bali" video because within two years it will be overrun with back packers.
@@pakde8002 I feel your pain. I'm in a similar situation where I live.
SO WELL DONE! I was hoping you would do this story. You nailed it.
I love how you respected the difference between safety and taking risks.
Risks aren't wrong, but exactly like you said, extreme risk needs extreme safety measures.
Your warning will hopefully give heed to people to be smart.
Don't stop having fun, but be smart. What a great ending.
There's a temptation to make all risks illegal to humans, but we must be allowed to choose our risks, with informed consent. All of them except the most dangerous need to be left up to adults to choose their risks if they aren't harming others or ancient formations. I'm glad they made these places off limits, without making the sport entirely illegal.
Well done! 👍🏻
Appreciate it comment! Well said
I'm sorry, but it serves him right for jumping. The area is a spiritual one for the indigenous native indians and so should not be violated.
America has no indigenous natives. They are early asian immigrants not natives to the Americas.
Serves him right. You sound spiritual.. Not
I can’t imagine being the parent of a high risk child.
Those parents were usually proud due to their children being the ones to make important historical discoveries.
I have a son who is like this, and the worst part about it is listening to my husband bitch about everything my son does. My son wants to become a skydiving instructor, and my husband not only has never gone and watched our son skydive, he gets pissed if anyone in the family even talks about skydiving.
@@vjs4539it’s possible he wants to die before his children and not the other way around
As an old man, thats what younger people like to call me I find the whole bolting thing disturbing. Back in the day there was two types of climbing top roping and lead climbing or as you he people now call it trad climbing. There was no sport climbing and fixed anchors were rare. One of my younger family members who went to school for environmental science sees nothing wrong with drilling holes in the rock, it enables indoor climbers to feel safe on climbs they have not earned the skills to climb certain climbs. Then again I am old and have a different view on power tools and rock climbing. Of course what they were doing at this arch would cause damage to the rock. I don’t care so much about peoples safety it’s their responsibility and their life’s. I suppose there other locations this can be done. My advice to younger people stop posting incredibly beautiful places if you want to keep them that way. I keep my favorite tree ski runs a secret and only share them with my closest friends not the internet.
I'm into photography and I've learned to just never tag locations or name them. While I believe everyone has the right to visit places, not all are going to be respectful so I'd rather it be limited to people who will do a little legwork to learn about a cool location
@@johnchedsey1306 I agree, don’t make things to easy for others. Not everything needs to be posted.
Couldn't pay me enough do a high risk maneuver.
I'm definitely not trying to offend anyone. But I think it's important to be honest with ourselves and others. He was not "killed", he jumped of a cliff. The fact the I have to censor my words in this comment shows how soft our society has gotten. Brutal honesty is better than having everything sugar-coated all the time. We learn way more. I am not trying to say he did it to himself on purpose. And I do feal for the family. But was not killed.
Not a chance I would leap off of anything!
Where have you been all my life? Every video I watch draws me deeper into your unique art form of telling stories. Love your channel!
Wow, thank you!
If people ever wonder why various govt agencies come in and regulate recreation activities, this is pretty much why. I'm one of those photographer types who would prefer a more serene, peaceful experience in a location such as that. But I'll also admit I'd probably enjoy watching the daredevils for awhile too. Perhaps there is a location or two in the Moab area that could be set aside for the adrenaline junkies that can also be done with the utmost safety in mind.
I imagine the BLM office in that area is just up to their necks in dealing with the incredible popularity of that part of Utah. I understand they're starting to close off a lot of back roads due to misuse by 4x4s and off roaders. It's a shame that some (but not all) people hear about a cool place and don't have the respect for it when they arrive for their fun.
It's one thing when people are standing around, taking pictures, hiking by, etc. You could realistically hike out there and still get a good clean shot in between other visitors on a busy day. But when people were doing this, you might wait hours because a bunch of people showed up to swing, take time to set up, hang out, everyone does their thing a few times while another group has shown up and is already getting set up for their turn. Not to mention that continuing to allow this activity would cause the degradation and eventual destruction of the natural feature, all because some believe that because a place exists, they're entitled to use it however they see fit. They can get the same rush by jumping off one of the thousands of cliffs into water or whatever else- bungee jumping, climbing natural features they won't literally destroy, etc.
Wow amazing craziness! Tfs great job and especially awesome to hear u are Awake! I was shocked when u said "thousands of years" instead of falsely stating millions of years. ❤😊❤ great channel
I noticed that too 👍
Love your uploads keep them coming very binge worthy content
More to come!
I went to school with Kyle. The rope length was correct, however he was using a dynamic rope. When swinging calls for a static rope. Static ropes do not stretch. Dynamic ones do, hence why climbers use these ropes, so that falls will be softened.
That's interesting. I wonder why none of the reports made this important point.
@@outdoordisasters not sure but I was acquaintances with him and his group. It makes the most sense and I could easily see most media outlets not mentioning it because they don’t understand how nuanced the climbing/rappelling etc world is.
I climbed to this arch with my family 25 years ago. It was breathtaking. This should be outlawed!
Nature has no mercy and treats everyone without any bias!
Rope swinging?! I guess when a zip-line isn't enough...these adrenaline fueled sports are getting more and more outlandish 😮
I'm LDS ( Mormon) and of course have plenty of family and friends in Utah.
Extreme sports are popular amongst many LDS youth because it's a way to get a ' high ' without using prohibited drugs or alcohol (mostly). There are bad apples in every bunch.
I have a feeling if there wasn’t a way to film it, like 90% of them would opt to not even drive out to watch.
No one really wants to see you do this to anyone who does it.. lol. Once you’ve seen a person swing once, you’ve kinda seen them all.
Maybe im just extra cautious, but i would have tested the rope length.
Perhaps… perhaps 🤔
A sober reminder of gravity
Kyle couldn't be bothered to wear a belt. Why would he worry about checking his equipment?
That wasn't too clever of them. "Let Mikey go first, he's the heaviest... "
“Wanna measure the rope?”
“Nah fuck that, just film me doing this tight shit”
RIP 🪦
Very well-written narration and fine video.
I wish that someone would design and build structures for swinging, bungee jumping, skateboarding, biking, etc. These beautiful, age-old, natural formations should be off limits to such activities. Too much human interference can cause irreversible damage. Just sayin
Can’t be good for the rocks
This is why if you’re a decent person who enjoys nature, don’t post your videos online of cool stuff or these types go ruin it for footage of their own.
Arch swinging .. still safer than an early morning jog through West Memphis. 👨🏿🦱🧑🏾🦱🧑🏿🦱🧑🏿🦱🧑🏾🦱🧑🏿🦱
This is why I get all the exhilaration i need from red lobster
You haven’t lived til you take a basket of Cheesy Bread to the face..
I remember when this happened 💔 i live in moab and corona arch was my favorite hike til this happened 😢
Yahoos who don’t care about the fragility and beauty of this treasure.
Another One bites the dust
I love the descriptive narration 🥰
Glad you enjoy it!
I recently got the audiobook version of Into Thin Air on Audible and I love little factoids.. big time. He somehow tells this gripping story with little notations peppered in every chapter. It will explain a term used a lot or give an easy to understand version of a complex technique.. really cool stuff.
The story is absolutely bone chilling too.. heroism, selfishness, pain, determination.. it’s like the full-spectrum of human emotion. It was like 9 hours and I was done within three days.
Totally recommend just for the notations alone haha.
@@Errcyco I'm finishing this book and will make a video about Beck Weathers and the events of that day very soon...
Kyle didn't look like the type to do any calculations
yeah, maybe he should have had another more experienced person double check for him. its SOP in many things like with parachutes, scuba gear, etc.
Nobody can convince me to do that, never ever!
I confront enough fear and uncertainty in life without swinging from Corona!
Hard to believe they'd have an accident, it seems completely safe🙄
I cant believe people think its a good idea to swing on an arch named after a Mexican beer. Imagine how fun it will be to swing on the Bud Ice Arch
I can’t believe hardly anyone was wearing a helmet! I’d have thought that was a major safety precaution.
At those heights a helmet isn’t going to protect you
Excellent review! OD have you considered swing stage accidents as a subject perhaps?
Self reflection and embracing tranquility = 2 examples of *true* courage, for these adrenaline junkies.
🙏🙏 thank you O D ❤❤
You are so welcome
ZION OR MOAB: For those of you choosing your next hike vacation in Utah and you have to make a choice.
Moab! Words cannot convey the beauty of the earths evolution there.
This is why you make sure the people setting up the rig know what they are doing. All they had to do is test the jump with a heavy bag before. Is this the guy whose brother set it up?
They had 1 job; and 1 job only. I wonder if those people were drinkin or something
Bless him for living his dream
That was a classic Wile E. Coyote miscalculation.
Lemins springs to mind.
Outdoor Disasters if my all-time favorite RUclips channel, and I swear I'm addicted to it. May I ask about your background music? I love it. What is this song? Is it something original for your channel? I love the way it just loops endlessly in the background no matter the length of any given video, and I find it to be a very nice ear worm, lol.
I'd never even heard of rope swinging before watching this. Your channel is making me wonder if I have a slight fear of heights - or just a good, healthy respect for them, ha ha. But some of the "very high" Outdoor Disasters like this one and the Dean Potter vid and also the Remi Lucidi vid really gave me the willies. Like, I had to look away at times and just shudder...
Keep up the great work, we all love you!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! The bg soundtrack is "Omega" by Scotty Buckley. An excellent composer here on RUclips with some amazing work. When I was first starting producing videos for the channel, for me, the lengthiest part was finding the right music. It took me some time to try to find the right music to capture the stories I wanted to tell on this channel. Then as soon as I heard "Omega", there was no question this was it. The rest is history. Thank you for appreciating it. I know there's some that don't like it. But I believe it adds so much to the production. It's the Outdoor Disasters signature along with the beginning tagline "for all its beauty and splendor..."
@@outdoordisasters That's awesome, please don't ever change it! I love it, and I agree that it adds just the right "vibe" to your work. And since you mentioned it, I do also love your beginning tagline. You should have heard me in the office a few months ago trying to impersonate your voice (I'm a girl, lol) and saying it to my boss, "For all its beauty and splendor..." ha ha ha! I've recommended your channel to him, my brother, and several other people.
Thank you for replying!
@@emmycab your support is much appreciated!
@@outdoordisasters I'm on Scott's channel listening to it right now. Honestly, it's a little weird listening to it without your narration, hee hee. It is an amazing time that we live in when there are people producing this quality of content, free for others to use. (And now that I've looked at his channel, I see where he mentions the credit line line which you've included in your video descriptions. Oops, sorry I'd overlooked that before!)
Ambulance chasers looking for that ultimate train wreck,, a strange addiction indeed.. you need help.
An ok video up until the 'final thoughts' at the end. Thirty seconds of that stuff was more than enough.
Anyone old enough to remember when common sense was common?
The actor Kyle from the classic film Idiocracy will be missed.
I don’t know why people think they have to put danger in their lives. As far as I’m concerned, it’s more like stupidity. He should have checked the rope before he ever made the jump. I have to agree with the person that said, like roadrunner and coyote only one thing, the coyote was in destructible after all, he’s a cartoon character and we are not. I’m sorry for this person loss and their family Stupidity will get you killed every time. Thanks for the video.👍🏼☠️💀 people just don’t stop and think anymore they just do.🤔😪
Sorry, but I think most people wouldn’t think that they had the right to damage a public space like this. Drilling holes into the arch? Who would think they had the right to do that? You may as well carve your name into the stone. So very disrespectful to the land and to your fellow human beings who would like to admire its beauty.
Always great content ! Love to watch your channel grow still, you deserve more views & subs.
Sad story, i'm sure people have good intentions but it's a huge risk. Maybe local policy makers could find
a spot where this activity can be enjoyed but with professional guidance and oficial oversight, and in a remote area away from the tourist trails.. its an opportunity for a cool activity, gets people out in nature and provide an income for the local community... When it is prohibited.. people will seek ways push back against it and more accidents could happen.
Narrator sounds like Morgan Freeman. So I subscribed.
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Headline alone made me say Oh No🤦🏻♀️
Pretty cool when people swing from here but obviously gotta get the roping right.
Prayers for the bereaved parents....
A Stud?? 👀👀
Interesting choice of words from his family.
Most adrenalin junkies are disrespectful of what ever they are using/exploiting to get their quick fix. They should just build a huge arch with safety bolts to attach ropes to for swinging. That would be a great option.... and build one over a canyon for the fool hardy hard core people lol
i bet the instagram influencers get upset when they’re trying to take a photo acting like they’re the only ones out there, and some dude swings by.
Such a cute boy very good looking a go getter no fear so young and alive breaks my heart goes out to him family and friends may God comfort them with the peace that surpasses all understanding 😢💔🙌🙏
Cute? He looks a few generations inbred to me, probably a risk taking mormon
Yall should see the airplane flying through the arch - there's a photo of it in canyonlands copy & print by city market in Moab.
Everyone has their own hobbies. Hiking is more my pleasure but I'll gladly WATCH someone else do this. Then I'll hike back.
Did not check equipment and specs - like the cameraman who jumped out of the plane with no parachute. Splattered all over 3 states.
Well, that was just moronic. He wore his brains out (forcing it to flood the brain with chemicals that cause euthoria) and then he was OUT when he needed SENSE and
LOGIC on a later jump that day!
I'd have it in a ridiculous color nobody has, like lime green or pink so it can't POSSIBLY BE anything else. And I'd check it 15 THOUSAND times.
Yesss!!
I go out to moab utah specifically
Me as well. Any chance I get. I love that area.
There was probably like 20 A-holes that ruined it for everyone else.
It should be called Darwin's yo-yo.
If we can stop thinking of just ourselves and think of everything around us, the planet would flourish more.
Anyone got a video of it happening?
That teen girl was beaten many, many times before this final act of violence. And no one stepped up for her, no one!😮
The magnificent, awe inspiring text you so poignantly and inspiringly slather across your videos is, in truth, like drowning a delicious pancake in so much butter and syrup that it becomes an inedible nauseating pile of slick, sickening goo.
God riddance to these jackasses spoiling a sublime spot for their stupid teenage thrills. That is more beautiful than any arch in arches national park, imho.
There's this thing called a "Sand Bag".
I was a thrill seeker in my youth but potentially destroying such a wondrous gift Mother Nature took 1000s of years to powerfully and delicately mold, no!
.. it sounds like a cave diving disaster the way you say it lol
also, could be in the top 10 of most dumbest way to die; - rope too long... i mean, what else do you have to make sure of??
