slingshot swing

[boreality]

A favorite thing to find is a big swing with a branch that catches the rope half way and slingshots you straight up. I've always wondered if anyone ever made a full loop around the branch without breaking their neck?

And if you did, did you keep going round and round faster and faster til you ran out of rope like a throw weight?

If this is what I'm wondering at the start of the off season where will I be come Feb?

Sheesh I hope not but your crystal ball may be accurate. A couple more days like today with the tax people and I'll snap. My offseason gives me one month to heal my body, one month to do taxes and one month to worry about going broke. Then the phone starts ringing and I'm making saw dust again, hopefully.

I really have wondered about the loop around a branch and if anyone has ever made it. It'd be quite the ride.
