And think how you are going to get down once you are dangling in the
harness. You don't have long dangling before blood starts to pool in
your legs and nasty physilogical things start to happen, including
death.

The answer to that is to use a rate of descent control device, rather
than a fixed length of rope. You still hit the ground if you fall, but
slowly enough for it not to hurt.
