What is rap running or jumping?

Rap running, also known as forward abseiling or rap jumping, is a controlled descent technique where participants descend vertical surfaces like cliffs or buildings while facing downwards. Unlike traditional abseiling, this activity involves stepping or running down the wall, offering a thrilling and fast-paced experience that combines adrenaline with rope-based safety systems.

Do I need travel insurance for rap running or jumping?
