    I think I need to find more social situations into which I can insert the phrase "Jumping with no hesitation!"

    Above narrative aside, this is a pretty sweet idea. I think a clock that yelled "it's ten o'clok, yee-ha!" would be awesome.

    Or maybe it is just a casserole, and our dear friend Mark just forgot to take his blue pill that morning.
    I did like the narrative though. Very Woot.com ish.

    Lets see 20 people, times say 170lbs apiece, thats almost 3500lbs thats swinging from one side of the bridge to the other changing its direction of pull in the process.


    Sounds like a great idea, get these kids to test out bridges.

    @Adam Shegrud: You must also keep in mind what a bridge normally goes though. First it carries a train, that's the biggest load. then the wind shear forces, etc. I'm sure the tensile strength of this steel will hold an extra 3500lbs, regardless of direction

    @Sean Baxter: kids on monkey bars aren't dangling above rock hard ice a hundred feet in the air, supported only by a rope anchored to something that is NOT meant to be used as an anchor.


    but thank you for your input, internet tough guy.

    @Brian Agalsoff: If they're using a beam from a bridge (that supports trains), i'm pretty sure it'll support the weight of a human, or even 20. This isn't as dangerous as people are making it out to be.
