tonight's random internet question

Abseiling/rappelling without mechanical aid (i.e. by wrapping the rope around your body): I'm guessing there is a high likelihood of bruises around your ribs or waist? Especially if you aren't experienced?

Any other tidbits of information on that sort of thing are equally appreciated. Rope burns on the hands? Etc.

(Yes, I just sent Isabella over a cliff. It's not the meanest thing I've done to her -- but that will surprise no one.)
