PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide shock-absorbing rope with no need of being furnished with any shock absorber as a separate constituent, enabling the rope itself to absorb a shock, thus capable of omitting its setup operation. SOLUTION: The shock-absorbing rope is such that multiple elastic balls 13 are disposed at predetermined intervals so as to included in braid rope 12 braided with multiple fiber strands 11 or in rope with such a structure as to be made by twisting multiple side strands 21. In the shock-absorbing rope, the respective elastic balls 13 are consecutively connected together by a linear connective material 14 in the form of strand, rope, wire, tube, etc., wherein each of the elastic balls 13 is substantially spherical or ellipsoidal and also elastically deformable when subjected to compressive force of predetermined level or higher from the strands.
