I dont know why it was embedding the wrong video, you didnt see my underarmor when I posted that video before? I had to take my company shirt off as they dont like me representing my opinions as company backed.

You were able to read his t shirt? After your post, I went back and looked at it 3 more times and couldn't make out anything. What are you talking about?

for some reason the embed code kept displaying the two way notch video, where my underarmor was a bit tight. I fixed it.

I am not in the video thats posted now. thats my friend nick... I guess I should have clarified that. My hair has never got so long.

We had a rope laying on the ground attached to the swing-er so that if something happened and they were unable to lower themselves we could pull them back in (when you stopped swinging you had to rap down to the ground underneath) . Eventually one of our buddies got pulled off the embankment by his ankle so we stopped doing that.
 
I normally can't watch rope swing vids. Usually if someone takes the time to put a rope swing vid on youtube, there's something bad in it.

One thing I've learned for the standard non-harness rope swings: No loops. Stopper knots only. There are too many vids of people getting their foot/leg stuck in the loop.

I'm a fan of harness style swings!

love

Foot loops always lead to disaster. If its a hold on type swing using a board or stick on the bottom to stand on and one to hold on to on is a lot safer.
