We used to say, if you can't figure out how to get up in the tree by yourself, you probably shouldn't BE in the tree, by yourself.
Don't buy this unless you already have the proper safety harness (and those are pretty expensive)

When I jump from one branch to another I have enough slack in my rope but it's tensioned in such a way that I cannot fall more than 2' from the ground even when the rope is under full tension. For the cheap rope and cheap arrestor I use, that's a 8' to 2' specification. The ones with a tighter range were magnitudes more expensive. I did a test fall and it worked as specified (cheap arrestor is single use so I had to buy another one) but I've never actually fallen to do a real life test nor do I hope to.
Personally I'm comfortable jumping from 4' off the ground. Anything higher and I risk a slip because I have not trained how to fall from a higher distance. I believe you need a special technique to fall from 6' or higher that needs to involve a drop and roll to redirect the impact
That said even for children, a 6' fall sounds dangerous but I will let real parents decide for themselves.
I have no idea or interest in rock climbing so I trust what you're saying is right, but because I'm cheap, I trim and cut my own oak and pine trees, one of which is 60' tall but most are in the 20 ft range.
