We had a fairly lightweight swingset in my backyard. My brother and I were convinced we could tip it over if we synchronized our swinging just right. Fortunately we never did but it’s funny now thinking back on how we thought that was a good idea.

Your description of you childhood desire to tip the swing has made me rethink having children. 🙂
You’re going to have kids, if only for the entertainment value?
I always wondered if I could actually get over the top and around; never made it, tho…
“No,” is the short answer.
I know that my neighbor was able to do that once.
our back garden was at a 20 degree slope, maybe 30. our trick was NOT getting the swing set to fall over. eventually our dad dug a hole for each foot of the swingset and cemented it in place. somehow, it just wasn’t as fun…
I always wondered if I could flip myself backwards over the bar if I swung high enough. All it did was make the drop back down sharper and harder. XD
The swingers club is only disappointing if you don’t like swings.
