The worlds largest swing

That's awesome.

Doesn't bother me like the thought of bungee jumping does.

Curious as to how so??? The fact the ground is so close has always kept me away from bungee jumping, but always wanted to sky dive since you "have time" to think about things. I've never done either btw.

Taxes?! Isn't this the line for Metallica?
As an internet tough guy, I'd do it.

(But if I saw it in real life, I'd probably have second thoughts)

You know that awful feeling you get in your stomach when you're falling? Like butterflies? That's the only reason I wouldn't do it. The height would probably make me dizzy as fuck too.

Based on some napkin math, 70 m of freefall would get you moving at over 133 km/h in less than 4 seconds.

The stomach lurching alone...

The swing itself isn't what gets me (I still hate heights), it's that almost sudden drop when you're released that makes me go "fuck this". All the warnings in the world beforehand wouldn't be enough for me to be jolted by that rough release.
