Totally Off Topic!! The Ultimate Swing


I have designed and built a lot of things over the years out of metal..But
this has got to be the ultimate backyard, crazed inventor, type of project.

Watch it all the way through. The last few seconds are great. I just
wonder what type of individual would do such a thing. Even the swings of my
childhood, made from tree trunks, can not compare to this thing.
