I watched "The Making Of..." too. Didn't hear much about permission from park rangers, etc. They had to have paid some wicked fees though!

Expat, my thoughts were that some Interior Department bureaucrat would see this and declare the arch off limits due to "wear and tear on the environment".

The rigging that was shown in the making of video looked like standard mountaineering gear used to arrest unintended falls(other than a couple of chains to prevent chafing of the swing ropes) as such no special permits would be required in that park as climbing is one of the major attractions in moab.
Tyrusguy's favorite lines from the soundtrack:

2)So dope I'm a certified meth lab!

Did these people take picture beforehand to prove any cracks in the rocks were there already when they started swinging?
