World’s Highest Swing.

The Chinese have built this swing on top of a 700 foot tall viewing platform in China. Swingers are propelled out over the edge of the platform for a terrific (or terrifying) view of Harbin city in the Heilongjiang province. Link

While this may be the swing with the longest potential fall, the world’s highest swing highlighted here in March still seems much scarier (particularly with its stomach turning 33 story freefall).

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

I think they should go with the length of the swing radius and use that as the value for “highest.”

Tallest: Longest radius

Highest: Longest drop if the rope broke.

Longest: I give up. This is like “The World’s Strongest Man”. Marketing, not fact.
