My belief is that there are numerous ways to hang from the bridge, either on the end or side, without grabbing, grasping, or grappling. Since the GDC has refused to define what that means some are more suspect than others.
I think 179's is clearly not grabbing, grappling, or grasping. That being said, the end of the bridge is pretty non-rigid (it's nothing but unsupported polycarb/HDPE at that point. I have no idea how the GDC intends to handle that, or if "grab, grapple, or grasp" will be up to the judgement of the referees at each event.
