    Default How high can you go on a Swing?

    I'm talking about one of those playground swings, I never managed to get much further than the same height as the crossbar.

    Some people have managed to go all the way over. Ok, they cheat and use a rocket pack.

    And then you find things like this.



    I've gotta have a go at this? Has anyone gone Kiiking before?

    Swinging was always my favorite playground activity as a kid, but I only got 55 seconds into that kiiking video before I had to turn it off. I don't think I like going that high.

    I would love to give that a try, but wonder if I would chicken out once I broke 90 degrees.

    I never got much past 90 degrees. Then, I would lose momentum readying to leap off, making my jumps rather unspectacular.

    I had the same thought. It looks awesome, but could I keep from freaking out that high?

    The swings around here were all made with chains, so you were unable to go past 90° without the laws of gravity taking over.

    I swing until my skirt starts flapping. No higher.
