The fall factor is 1. The simple theoretical shock load isn't any different whether jumping 250m or 2.5m. The actual shock loading should be reduced because of air resistance reducing the fall speed. The weight of the rope adds a little to the static load on the anchors. The forces don't seem at all dangerous (not that I'd do it) but the danger would appear to be heating via rope friction, as caused Osman's demise, or cutting on edges. I assume you plan to jump with the rope already hanging over the drop ?
