- guywhodoesstuff, on 11/10/2007, -2/+80If I ever want to kill some one and make it look like a freak swinging accident, now I know were to go.
- TROGDOR42, on 11/10/2007, -2/+72You know, at the peak of a big swing, you become weightless

No, this is definitely blogspam, and I base it on their source at the bottom (just like madman): "Ananova [via Spulch]"
Giz bounced through a source to get to the original. By the time this hit digg, it was handed off to three people. Now, if Giz found out about it first, then it would be good. If they added detail, sure. In this case, they did neither. Thus, it is blogspam, and I am burying it as such. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+53Boobs!

I don't think Gizmodo is considered blogspam. - floridiot2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+43Afraid of heights? No.. I'm afraid of hitting the ground at an enormous velocity.
- raada, on 10/11/2007, -3/+34Is the scary part that the swing is high up or that the swing is "Made in China"?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+28buuch's last words.
- Jozer99, on 10/11/2007, -6/+30I agree. I read Gizmodo, but quite a bit of their stuff adds nothing to the description, in fact, usually it shortens the description. I count this as blog spam.
- fkr3, on 10/11/2007, -5/+28If gizmodo isn't blog spam then why are they regurgitating this post:
http://spluch.blogspot.com/2007/05/worlds-highest-swing.html
Which in turn regurgitates this article:
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2325093.html
Most gizmodo "articles" are just a paragraph and a source. On any other blog that's correctly called blogspam. - silverchrysalis, on 10/11/2007, -3/+22do you respond to all posts like that?
might be handy i suppose, just type in some random obscenity... - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19That's it? One ***** picture from a bad angle garners1200 Diggs? You diggers are easy to impress.
- CrackHappy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19@ablez3 Now I know at least one person who downloads hentai tentacle rape type junk...
- ran24, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18Who wants to join me in the elementary-school swing jump? YEAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
- buuch, on 11/10/2007, -2/+18i would love to try this
- Skurt, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16What kind of crap is this?
How about the Stratosphere's Insanity ride?
http://www.stratospherehotel.com/insanity.html
Over 900 feet up, and it 'swings' 65 feet over the edge and you are spinning in a little swing seat!
the tower is over 1100 feet high.
And while the TOWER in China is over 1100 feet high, the swing is only at 700 feet. - Jhorra, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15Yeah, but that's in Vegas and it's all mechanical. This thing is in China, so it's probably just two ropes tied to the side of the building.
- vare2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12It's interesting how madman52 was digg down so many times when others are digg up for saying the exact thing.
- trogdoor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11That's nothing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX9Ca2j5WLw - GawtMilk, on 11/10/2007, -1/+11It's fine. My grandmother is like that too.
- kigabit, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11I dunno, it does look pretty thrilling. Maybe I'm just an adrenaline junkie ^_^
- jtorkbob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Looks like they screwed the details too. The tower is 1100 feet, the viewing platform is 750. Somewhere there was a mixup. I get tired of clicking though these things.
- guywhodoesstuff, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Reading through these comments.... What the hell is it about a giant swing that makes you all so damn horny??
Every other post is a sexual reference! My God the story isnt even KIND OF sexual! - Justinpirate, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I am not usually afraid of heights but forget that crap. That swing looks terrifying.
- xxyglx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I agree. If I trust my hardware, I'd drive it into the sun and feel certain I'd drive it back. This seems like a fun ride.
- holyskeleton, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6one pic doesnt tell the truth.
- eezzzz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Did her flip flops come off? I need high-res pictures of this amateurs shoeless left foot.
- KMye, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I thought the article would be about this. This really is the highest swing in the world, as far as the swinging goes.
http://www.oribigorge.co.za/5_swing.htm - Ramble, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4You jumped and fell 1,100 feet into a river without dying or breaking any of your bones?
- mmurch03, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8I like how one of the tags is "Sweet Jesus". lol
- ablez3, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8@crackhappy.
cartoon porn is silly. - maehem, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4One word. "No frikkin way!" Ok. three words.
- PathDaemon, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5ablez3: It can't.
- ctrlv, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3After seeing this pic I think swings are a very fresh and unique idea for rooftops and it would be great to have some on the roofs of office buildings over 10 floors. Of course not at the very edge (duh), but enjoying the view swinging as opposed to enjoying it standing makes for a phenominal difference, I can only imagine how much more exciting a visit to my building's roof would be if it had a swing on it.
- Bahimiron, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Agreed.
When I looked at this, I thought "What about X-Scream?" - djm91, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2it's not really a matter of being afraid of heights, i just can't trust anyone when I'm 2 feet from the edge of a couple hundred foot tall cliff
- Sprules04, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I would soo ***** do that!
I love how the guy just pushes the ones that are little hesitant, haha. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2If I were to ever go on that swing, I'd scream. Then I'd ***** my pants in fear...
- shortmilton, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2shooot! I jumped off bluffs into the river whut was taller than that!!Really.
- rikonick, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2After reading these posts I think porn shoots are a very fresh and unique idea for rooftops and it would be great to have some on the roofs of office buildings. I can only imagine how much more exciting a visit to my building's roof would be if it had a porn shoot on it.
- LADIESCREVICE, on 11/10/2007, -7/+8I get scarred on a step ladder. I'd probably have to lay on the ground just standing up near that thing.
- SebHughes, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Mirror To Picture
http://www.files.vanillamints.com/digg/highest_swing - Aliarse, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11 1100 ft tall swing + 1 Parachute = 1 Very cool stunt.
If it was more like a normal swing, I'd love to do a backflip over the edge. I don't know how many of you have tried doing what i just mentioned, but me and my friends used to do it all the time, those who have done it, will know what im talking about.
Doing it on this swing with a parachute strapped on would be a huge rush. - APHughes, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I'm not afraid of heights but that thing would make me
- Phyter, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Here's why I'll NEVER do the Stratosphere Insanity Ride:
http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2005/Nov-16-Wed-2005/news/4336466.html - bushmonkey01, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1it looks cool...makes me feel sick to see it tho
- Snowbeam, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@Jhorra
I double dare you to get on that swing. - fireinbergen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1If you noticed they are actually harnessed to something else. Thus they are pretty safe actually.
- SopMan99, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That makes my butthole pucker up.
