The decender was mainly downwards, but I did go sideways for a bit, the failsafe was a very large patch of sand at the bottom 
Seriously, I did hit a ledge and slipped, I couldn't get off the ledge until the chap at the top with the safety line gave me some slack, which
I unfortunately took up all the slack at once! Very minor bruising, and a massive adrenalin rush

Your local undertaker could've been a couple of grand richer.
Well done for raising the dosh though - I'll sponsor you next time if it involves jumping from an aeroplane.

I did do a 'parachute jump' at the age of seven, with misleading information from my grandfather.
This resulted in severe brusing, nettle rash and partial strangulation with a bed sheet and a bump on the head from a school satchell.
Just use you imagination - lets just say I have never had a fear of heights
