If you were like me, you spent many hours on a swing when you were a youngster. Those were the days. I can remember swinging very high and jumping off.
Today, I would get vertigo. That’s why when I heard about Colin Furze’s 360 swing, I really got dizzy. I wanted to show you what we missed not being a kid today.
Furze built the swing in his yard. Propelling 360 degrees, it goes as high as 31 feet in the air. You just keep going around and around. I am not even sure if this swing is legal. You must watch the above video.
Furze is a plumber, stuntman, inventor, filmmaker, and YouTuber from Stamford, Lincolnshire, England. He uses his plumbing and engineering experience to build many contraptions. Some of them include a wall of death, the world’s longest motorbike, the world’s fastest stroller, and a jet-powered motorcycle made with pulsejet engines.
Watch the video below to see what his other dare-devil inventions are all about. Take a Dramamine at least one hour before viewing.

I used to pump my legs hard enough, hoping I could swing high enough to do a 360. Never happened. I like this invention (but don’t plan to ride it.)
I can see you now
