World's Highest Swing.

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).

    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.
