Do it....I dare you

Now thats what i need to spice up my sex life...that and an iphone and i could ditch the wife.

The next Gizmodo intern should have to ride this to prove that he/she is brave enough to work for The Giz...

ummm.... weee?

Ha, my girlfriend is from Harbin. Not that anybody cares, but what's the likelihood of knowing anybody from the city of 1100 foot high swings?

I would piss myself just looking at it from the ground up

The Japanese version will have an 1,100-foot flying toilet with an open bottom. The operators will also double their revenue, offering people a chance to pay for admission to run around below and play 'dodge the poop.'

Just looking at that picture made my palms into a cold, sweaty mess. I'll stay on the ground and watch from there.

Sweet Jesus is right. I get scared of flying out of a swing when it's 10 feet off the ground, let alone 110 times that.

That thing has a seatbelt.

pussies.

Let me just say on behalf of wussies everwhere:

Fû©% that.

You know, the concept souns benign enough, but if I think about it, I really do think I would crap my pants on this thing.

My friend phil says: "I would shit my pants so hard I'd need a new colon." I think that's quite apt. Me, I'd just barf, and then faint, and then fall out of the swing, and die.

what if you vomit? ewwwwwwwwwwwww

the people down there would say, "Mmmm... weird. that tastes like broccoli"

I'd crap my pants if I had to ride that thing only cuz it's "Made in China".

That is scary as hell. The other thing that scared the pooh out of me was the roller coaster on top of the Stratosphere in Vegas. I could just see the cars rocketing off the track before crashing to the ground 1,000 feet below.

I'll wait for the Wii version.

They should replace the chair with a toilet.

If you fall off, you'll hit a speed of free falling, it would be fun, until you hit the ground.

I'm going to bet right now that this will be on the next season of The Amazing Race. And I would totally do this. Once.

I bet if you jump you could totally make it past the gravel part of the playground.

Men with steel testicles not only swing on this thing for breakfast, they then JUMP OFF while at the high point of the outgoing arc, with a basejumper's pack on their back!! Now THAT would be wicked indeed!!!

So...it's scary...until you see the harness they're both wearing.

But whee? This is less "hardcore" than bungee jumping, skydiving, rock climbing, spelunking, rapelling, sky coastering (ya know, at six flags), gliding, and well...real swinging on the playground, where you try to get as high as you can and start losing the taughness of the chain? Or when you stand instead of sit?

Although the view looks nice.

Yeah I agree, this doesn't look that bad with a seatbelt. I'd love to try it if I was in China. Now BASE jumping off of it, that sounds like a blast.

no.

While I have willingly gone to the top of the late, lamented World Trade Center and stood peering over the edge (ok, spitting over the edge) just looking at this picture made my testicles retract so hard it looks like I have the mumps...

I've been on top of the Harbin tower. Wasn't a swing up there when I was there. Harbin is an interesting city. They have a yearly ice festival and an old downtown made up of late 19th and early 20th century buildings. The city was founded by Russians.

Ha....

Given the conditions that the average Chinese has to drive in (see this > http... ) they have to get really creative like this to get a bigger rush.

I'd do it with the right bet.

"The Japanese version will have an 1,100-foot flying toilet with an open bottom. The operators will also double their revenue, offering people a chance to pay for admission to run around below and play 'dodge the poop.'"

You mean... 'catcht the poop.... with your mouth'

DWK: What's a Chinese Driver Sex AM?

Given that it's in China I bet there's a flying saliva hazard to pedestrians on the ground.

Thats actually "chinese driver's exam"

Hmmm. You know, I kinda wonder how long the chain is for the swing. I mean, how far out do you go? How hard can your ex-wife/friend/husband/relative push you? I mean, can he/she pull you back and then do a running push to get you going up? I remember from being a kid that you can almost get horizontal practically before falling out. Granted, Mythbusters showed that you need rockets strapped to flip over the bar holding the swing - but I am sure no one would do that.

Nah, those cirque guys go all the way around all the time. Will they let folks BASE jump from it?
