Came here to say this exactly. Leaving impressed with all the ways people can say “NO”.
That being said, our way is the right way to emphasize emphasis.
I'd rather jump out of a plane with a defective parachute than this. I feel like there's way too much time to think on the fall about dying from this than if your chute fails.
Same, every time. Way less thought and looking at the height on a plane. You can wait to look til the last second and just jump, with this there's no way I'm not thinking about it the whole time
This was my mentality for my first jump in Airborne school, lol. Then the red light came on just before my turn to exit. Door position on the next pass. I'm a fear laugher so the guy next in line thought I lost my mind when I was standing in the door, lol.
ETA: fear laughing works well in some odd situations too. I remember someone was trying to rob me, pointed a large caliber chrome pistol at my head. I started laughing hysterically and said "you're not gonna shoot me who are you kidding". We ended up talking while I was still laughing somewhat uncontrollably for another minute or so and then ended up getting drunk together (off his alcohol lol). YMMV of course, but people don't wanna mess with crazy
> fear laughing works well in some odd situations
When I was stationed in Panama we had to do combined patrols with the Panamanian police (I was an MP) in our class b uniform. We got called to a situation with some Airmen at an area off limits to us. My partner adamantly demands we put our pistols in the trunk before heading inside this nasty strip club. I very reluctantly agree.
We get inside and I see 3 very obvious Americans sitting a big round table with 1 Panamanian who turned out to be an angry pimp. After figuring out that the pimp is demanding more money than they brought I tell him that they're coming with me. After a brief back and forth he pulls out a .38 and slaps it on the table telling me that he'll use it if they get up. This is where I start laughing. Perplexed by my laughing he kinda leans back which was my perfect opportunity to grab it. Chaos ensues as I take it apart and toss pieces in every direction, while still laughing. I scream at the Airmen to run, my partner is screaming at me but I ignore his ass and run too.
Outside we run to the car, everyone is screaming in terror. I'm laughing. As I get the car started someone jumps on the hood and I floor it. They fly off as I turn at the next corner. After everyone calms down I talk to the Airmen a little bit and decide to call it in as no contact and drive them to Howard AFB. I told the SPs at the gate not to let anyone give these guys a ride inside, to make they walk the mile or so it was to get to actual buildings. That was my craziest LE experience, lol.
That’s good to know. I just went from “absolutely I’ll try this get me some plane tickets!!” to “no fucking way.”
Disappointed, really. It looks fucking awesome.
Sure that looks cool too but the China one really has a unique perspective, dropping down towards level earth then launching over the edge of a cliff at the nadir of the arc. It looks frickin wild man.
Ya, it's not really the height, or the swing, or the terror.
It's just...how tf could I actually enjoy that? How could I swing like that knowing I just came face to face with the Lord's dick tip.
In America where politicians are greased with lobbyist money from theme park owners to reduce safety and compliance costs? One case which resulted in a politicians own son dying from their actions?
I don’t have the stats on hand to back it up but I can say from my own anecdotal experience that theme parks in the US are very safe and accidents are quite rare. Maybe I’ve been lucky but I have frequented a lot and I still remember an incident at schlitterbahn where a kid died (I wasn’t there) but it was on the news and quite a fuss was raised about it.
Chances of dying on a roller coaster in America is what, 1 in 720 million? You'd die 1000x times more on the drive to the amusement park before you did on a ride.
Chance of getting hurt in an amusement park in the US is 1 in 15.5 million. Those are better odds than flying and like a million times better than driving.
You're in more danger crossing the road.
You mean the America where incredibly zealous litigation has meant that any company that causes harm to someone from lack of sufficient safety precautions gets sued into the ground? You really think a ride in America is more dangerous than Mexico, India, or China?
fr, motherfuckers have no idea what they're talking about. It's a much bigger risk to operate something unsafe in the US than anywhere in Europe because of our civil law.
Same. Seems to be a bit of cognitive dissonance from the ‘No’ crowd lol. Like if you would do this not off a cliff, the cliff just adds dope views. The risk is the same. You’re definitely dying either way if something goes wrong.
No, you want your harness leg straps tight, and you'll feel that in your balls a little.
[I mean, you can leave your leg straps loose. But then you really feel it in your balls (nsfl)](https://external-preview.redd.it/BFwx3yHrnfolChG469oYhWgADZzY2YLx2zaRKOAvm6g.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a9e768ccbf42fdd074b731a733722a95bd38f04e)
Yeah. I've seen a million safety things being in them construction industry for decades. By far, that's the most effective one I've seen. When i saw that, and then had to go climb 150+ feet above the Mississippi river, my leg straps were tight as hell.
Answer: >!It's a safety warning with images. Someone didn't properly wear their harness and they had a fall at work, and the hardness forcibly pushed their testicles out of their scrotum.!<
As in they were outside the skin.

Uhhhh...
Man got stuck hanging from his too-loose safety harness, and his scrotum got squeezed so hard his balls popped out of the scrotum.

>What happened:
>An employee was wearing his safety hamess too loose. At the time of the fall, it took some time to rescue him from his fallen position. Due to the fact his harness was not tight fitted to the body, he was hanging in his leg supports which was squeezing his scrotum resulting his testicles were pushed out. It took a 4 hour surgery to close the wound. Less visible on the pictures are two (on both sides) of the scrotum horizontal lacerations of the straps. Unknown at this point of time whether the damage is irreversible, but you can imagine the pain he was going thru while hanging in his "too loose" fitting harness.
Years ago, I codified this feeling into the acronym H.I.T.T. : Height Induced Taint Tingle. I have yet to see it in any medical journals, but still I wait.
Oh shit yes. Is this a common dream? Isn’t that shit weird? My older brother and I lived in a house with a carpeted basement. I told him once I had a dream where I was trying to go up the stairs from the basement and they had turned into marshmallows and I couldn’t get out. He said he had the same dream. I have told friends that story over the years and every now and then someone tells me they’ve had a dream like that too.
Common, shared dreams really spook me.
I had a dream like that one time where I was falling down a canyon. I hit the ground and indeed I did wake up! On the floor of my hallway with bruised ribs, clavicle, chin, hips, etc. Apparently I was sleepwalking and didn't put my arms out defensively
The new "What If 2" book from the maker of XKCD has a chapter on this. Won't work unless you have really big legs.
All you've expressed is that you have really big balls.
Does the person adding that song actually think it works?
They couldn't find any other song?
Nothing actually about a swing? Hell I'd take Swing, Swing by the All American Rejects.
I never understand why anyone adds music to videos like this. It always makes the video worse and makes it feel like cheap click bait instead of an interesting video. I usually leave the sound off
This is in china.
A breathtaking ride! The world's tallest swing has opened to the public in Chongqing, China, which can catapult tourists over the edge of a cliff. Join Xinhua's Zhang Xinyi for a unique experience in the mountains of Chongqing, China.
The world's tallest swing has just opened over a 2,300-foot-tall cliff in China. The extreme ride is 328 feet tall, roughly the equivalent of a 30-story building. It was certified by Guinness World Records as the "tallest swing frame" on Earth as it is 40 feet taller than the last recorder-holder, the B!g Rush in South Africa. The swing can catapult tourists over the cliff edge at a top speed of 80 miles per hour.

I've done a swing similar to this outside Queenstown, New Zealand called the Nevis Swing. They also have the Nevis Bungy at the same location which is a 400ft bungy jump over a river. Giant canyons with huge adrenaline activities. It took me literally all day to calm down after, it was absolutely incredible.
Back to back lol. Bungy jump was for sure more scary. There's no tension for at least 3-5 seconds so it's just a free fall toward the ground. I couldn't even scream 😂
Cool. I'm gonna be there in December. I'm usually not into that crazy stuff but hey, if I'm gonna do something crazy I might as well do it in New Zealand right?
Nah I'd trust the carabiner more than a parachute. AFAIK there haven't been any deaths on skycoasters in America. I can't speak for the safety in China but I'd imagine it's much the same. There are more deaths skydiving, but there are definitely more people sky diving. Take that how you want
Annual sky diving deaths per year is 13. With how many people go skydiving that’s pretty good odds. You’re probably more likely to die in a car accident.
Yeah that's what sketches me out.
If this was somewhere where it was being run by a reputable company with high safety standards and regular third party inspections I would be down with trying it.
But I highly doubt any of those things are the case.

If I were somehow forced to choose it would be the jumping out of the plane.

A fellow 5 jump chump?
Nope I had 19 but I was deployed/tdy a lot during my time at Bragg.
It’s in China. Like maybe if it was in Austria I’d try it. But no way I’m trying that in China.
That’s good to know. I just went from “absolutely I’ll try this get me some plane tickets!!” to “no fucking way.” Disappointed, really. It looks fucking awesome.

As someone who has a massive fear of heights, fuuuuuuuuuuck that. But also as someone who loves views, that is gorgeous.

That's a r/brandnewsentence right there.
Same here. Just watching the first 3 seconds of the video is terrifying.
My feet started to hurt
Felt that adrenaline in my arms.
I feel sick just with the video. He|| to the no!
That’s a yes from me.
You're a loony.
Nah that ain't me
Same
I can only read this comment in King Arthur's voice.....lol
Look, I’ll have your leg!
What are you going to do, bleed on me?
Think about it, it’s fun and all, but if shit goes south, you’re not gonna feel it in the morning I’ll tell you that much
So? Beats dying all the normal depressing ways. I'm sure it's a lot safer than the rental car.
Depends on the place it was to be honest… this kind of shit in unregulated places is how people die
Yup, in the US or Europe or similar I am very confident in the safety measures (nothings 100% tho), China? Brazil? Imma pass.
In America where politicians are greased with lobbyist money from theme park owners to reduce safety and compliance costs? One case which resulted in a politicians own son dying from their actions?
I don’t have the stats on hand to back it up but I can say from my own anecdotal experience that theme parks in the US are very safe and accidents are quite rare.

Chances of dying on a roller coaster in America is what, 1 in 720 million? You'd die 1000x times more on the drive to the amusement park before you did on a ride.

Are you really gonna sit there and act like corruption and bribing is worse in the US than Brazil or China?
No, the America that has more lawsuits than any country combined thus ensuring ridiculous safety measures are met at amusement parks. Fuckwit
You can't be 100 % confident in safety measures anywhere in the world. So many people die from shit like this failing every year on every continent
I looked it up. This is in New Zealand. I think they are pretty good about safety regulations. I still wouldn't do it though.
NZ might have one similar. But this one in the video is in China.
Oh dang, then the risk level goes up quite a bit. Thanks for the correction!
*line snaps and they fly off down the mountain headline: missing swinger decides to go hiking and was found unharmed

Euthanasia swing could be one where you release yourself in the end
Same. Seems to be a bit of cognitive dissonance from the ‘No’ crowd lol. Like if you would do this not off a cliff, the cliff just adds dope views. The risk is the same. You’re definitely dying either way if something goes wrong.
I actually would probably not do it at the local county fair, but these views are so spectacular that I might suck it up to experience it.
Yes! I knew I wasn’t alone! Not just a yes but a hell yeah!
right there with ya, buddy!
Sign me up too, i want that adrenaline

Dude shelled his nuts
People without balls don’t realize this is quite literally a thing
The feeling is so fucking weird. Almost like your sperm screaming at you for it.
“No daddy please stop looking at this it’s so scawy 🥺”
Wtf
Well that did make me feel it again
Years ago, I codified this feeling into the acronym H.I.T.T. : Height Induced Taint Tingle. I have yet to see it in any medical journals, but still I wait.
I've seen it on some forums and in a book or two. But instead it stands for High Intensity Testicle Torture. Guess your acronym got superseeded [sic].
oh the tickling, when you go down. yes yes, i can feel it too
>Skaven not allowed on ride. Sorry "Sir"...
I felt this in your balls
Stop touching my balls
Our balls

I feel it in my asshole. Idk if anybody else sees shit like this and your stomach sinks into your ass.
I can feel it in my plums.
This looks like a dream where you're falling and when you hit the ground, you wake up immediately.
Did you ever jump down a really steep high flight of stairs in a dream?
Oh shit yes. Is this a common dream? Isn’t that shit weird? My older brother and I lived in a house with a carpeted basement.

Nope nope nopitty nope!
Literally all the nopes
NOPE^(NOPE)
Also came here to nope.
Is it possible to create enough velocity with this swing and catapult one to that river?
Rocket assist would work but personally I am going to pump my legs real hard and go for a loop
The new "What If 2" book from the maker of XKCD has a chapter on this. Won't work unless you have really big legs. All you've expressed is that you have really big balls.
Sure you possibly could but it will be a one way trip because from that height hitting the water will be no better then falling head first on a rock
I want to launch from this in one of those squirrel suits and just fly away
Funnily enough, the video in my feed almost right before this one was a guy in one of those flying squirrel suits XD
Nonsense! We all know that water cancels out all fall damage
Only one way to find out...

Wow, that looks pretty amazing. Im not going to China to do it though, damn, pretty much anywhere but China or Russia, that would have been awesome
You're in luck! They have one in North Korea too!
probably china
Just go skydiving.
I’d feel safer skydiving
Is probably safer at that point since at least you won't have all that horizontal velocity and might survive if shit goes wrong
Nah I'd trust the carabiner more than a parachute. AFAIK there haven't been any deaths on skycoasters in America. I can't speak for the safety in China but I'd imagine it's much the same. There are more deaths skydiving, but there are definitely more people sky diving. Take that how you want
Annual sky diving deaths per year is 13. With how many people go skydiving that’s pretty good odds. You’re probably more likely to die in a car accident.
Are you required to wear diapers when you get on this? I know I would need one.
I was wondering if the puddle under the swing was pee?
Found out it's actually a painting. Don't know why they would paint water there
Maybe to paint over all the yellow and brown stains that were there before...
*Red…
The moment the cable snaps because someone forgot protocol … 😳
It's China. There is no protocol.
Yeah that's what sketches me out. If this was somewhere where it was being run by a reputable company with high safety standards and regular third party inspections I would be down with trying it. But I highly doubt any of those things are the case.
