In elementary we boys had a past time of jumping off the swings at full tilt, launching our 80lb frames a good 20 feet into the air before landing in the sand.
Our school had a rule that if you stood in front of a swing and counted to a hundred you could claim the swing. One day some punk kid started counting down my swing, so I told him to move as I was gonna launch. Punk wouldn't move so I told him again, he stood there like an idiot as I lifted off and knee dropped him from 20 feet up. Gave the poor bastard whiplash from the collision. I thought I was gonna get expelled but nothing ever came of it.
Same, we also had swings with wide platforms so you'd stand on those, and they could also do a full rotation which we called "the sun". , and we did it as kids, minus the crash of course :)
