    Until the rope breaks and some poor adultkid cracks his/her spine.


    Then, right on cue lawyers storm the train like an old west action movie.


    See, that's why we can't have anything nice.

    I agree, that is EXACTLY where our problems started.

    We have beer vendors on the LIRR and Metro-North platforms. I'll take beer over swings any day.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Let's just hope it never has both. If you think the vomit content on public transportation is bad now, wait til that comes to fruition.

    @OMG! Ponies!: I'd take swings for the commute to work in the morning - where I'm still experience the child-like bliss that comes from sleep and dreamy-time. But then have it switched to beer vendors for the commute home, after the grown-up world-weariness of my day has beaten me down so far that I can't even imagine joy and only want to crawl into some alcoholic suds.

    @Mongoose: No, it wouldn't be. It would be a confluence of spilled beer and vomit. Otherwise known as the bathroom at Lucky 13's.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Mythbusters should try to see how much force it would take for the train to do this. it'd be a nice addition to what they did with the previous show about going 360 on a swing.

    @Kaiser-Machead: well, if the ceiling wasn't there to stop you you would be turned inside out if you made it all the way over.
