We had/have wild grape vines on the hill where I grew up. We'd cut the vine and try to Tarzan it. I was nothing but tendon and bone but with a run I could get a decent swing out of it. The effects of gravity were more prominent for my buddy so with a little work he could make a good arc. Except that grape vines are not used to those forces. He brought the whole thing down out of the trees and just missed landing over a barbed wire fence. Country playgrounds are the best. Jesus, that was like 40 years ago.
