Slowed the swings down a bit

Ok, Now your "getting fancy with the spices" with that beautiful transmission!
  I suppose you could select a really high gear and even get the swings Higher than say Straight out. It would likely require an airfoil taped to the swings to provide some lift...BUT Please,please don't try it with that Very nice Empire swing!
  I am having fun watching your videos Bruce!(pay no attention to my bad ideas)

I was trying to imagine just how much G-force the human body would experience if riding on a full size carnival ride spinning as fast as the second video in this thread, it would likely make someone pass out or worse!

In my second video I spun the swings faster than I had ever attempted before,  not realistic at all  but I was pleased that it was balanced enough as to not pitch itself onto the floor in a whirling gyrating heap.
