British inventor Colin Furze’s 9.5m tall, 360 degree swing which he’s created in his Lincolnshire backyard.
The first video demonstrates the impressive mechanism. The second takes it to a new level as Furze attaches a petrol driven propellor from a paraglider.

Lindy Hop Versus Krump.
Charleston versus Waack.
Who ya got?
A young Russian lout does the thing we’ve all wanted to do at some point to the epic strains of Hans Zimmer’s Inception theme.
The video is from 2011 but like the top, the chap may still be spinning.
From RTÉ’s live tracker, head of the Political Science department at Trinity College Dublin, Dr Michael Gallagher comments on the count.

Devin Graham and his thrill-seeking chums enjoy ‘the world’s most insane rope swing ever’ at an undisclosed location.
Damn show-off kids.
Double Happiness – a billboard swing for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bi-City Biennial of Urbanism and Architecture by French-Portuguese artist/architect Didier Faustino who sez:
Double Happiness responds to the society of materialism where individual desires seem to be prevailing over all. This nomad piece of urban furniture allows the reactivation of different public spaces and enables inhabitants to reappropriate fragments of their city. They will both escape and dominate public space through a game of equilibrium and desequilibrium. By playing this “risky” game, and testing their own limits, two persons can experience together a new perception of space and recover an awareness of the physical world.
Whatever.
We want a go.
