When I am dead, I hope it is said;

Yeah, the rappelling I did was on a climbing rope, rather than down a static line. Start at the bridge, the rope end's a good eight feet off the ground down there. By the time I got to the bottom, my feet are flat on the ground before I slide off the end of the rope.

Good thing I wasn't planning to climb back up the rope, because as soon as I clipped out, I couldn't reach it. :)
