Of whether or not you can swing right 'round, over the top. My beanie tells me, and I might be wrong but I think you'd have to have an awful lot of speed, depending on how much you weigh I think the speed would differ, how much would get you round that is. Otherwise at normal swinging speed I think you'd slow down and get exactly half-way round, that is at the zenith of the half-circle, and,!splat! You girls remember riding a boy's bike and missing the pedal? you know what that FEELS like? So don't try it.... the swing or the bike ... but I'm probably wrong about the swing. You'd have to be strapped in, too. But I know you can push them up around, kids still manage to do that even with the super-high sets and the heavy chains. They must do it together, it's gotta be a group activity. Like pushing over mailboxes and tipping cows and outhouses.
