All I want to know is why they didn’t do a Super slow-mo of Tory’s chain break on the swing. Dissapointed

, gun owners are all ucknkle-dragging homophobes, just a-waitin’ for an excuse to go all Mediaeval on someone. I said it without the ALL, leaving the statement purposely ambiguous, but true.About this: Let’s pretend (and hope it’s ONLY pretending here) that the wheels really do someday come off the country. I rest my case about the fantasy world you guys live in.

You can with a solid type swing when the side bars mount is fitted over the swing frame so the swind is able to go right over .You face the swing rear and hook your toe under the seat bar (basket) we used to do it as children standing of course.

Seriously? All these people who “totally did a swing set 360″ or “bullets don’t work that way in real life” etc. Mythbusters tested it and put it on video. That trumps a shitty internet post. If you want to say they’re wrong, post a video of your own on Youtube or whatever and link to it. If you don’t do that, it’s just a lot of empty BS.

Some choice gems:

“Bullet’s do not come apart if it hits something.”
-Besides the grammatical errors, which we should charitably ignore since this IS the Internet, bullets simply do come apart if they hit something. You don’t have to be a gun nut, or even a wanna-be poser, to know that. You just have to have a bit of sense in your head.

“I have personally made an empty toddler swing (about 5 feet long) do a 360.”
-Great job, now try sitting in it and doing that. One time I personally made a yo-yo do a 360 but that has just as much bearing on this as your experience.

you only tried on that one set and can you say you tried every single swing set? trust me, this can be done, I have done it as a small child, the thing is it can never be done if there is much distance between you and the top bar, there must be a very short distance between you and the top bar and this all happens very quickly with momentum. mb used large adults and dummies to perfom 360, thats not going to do it and its not the same as a lot of kids doing it growing up that I know

there really was no way for mb to really perform this the right way because they can’t force a child which is what is needed to perform this action,small dummie produces no energy and full grown adult weights way over 40 pounds or so however a full grown adult miget would work with short chain lenth

i totally agree, this is in fact possible and really no rocket science, i did it with my friemnds growing up when i was like either 6 or 8 years old, the trick was being light, rolling up swing seat to shorten chain lenth and with just a few swings back and fourth sure eno8ugh we made it over, mind you this was only done once at a time, mythbusters need to do this over. i pissed because i can’t prove this no longer as an adult weighing 260 pounds, grrrrr
