World’s highest swing

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

quirky high swingThe world’s highest swing has been set up on a 1,100ft TV tower in Harbin city. The swing is on a 700ft-high viewing platform on the tower in Harbin city, Heilongjiang province.

Participants sit on the steel seat and swing out over the city, beyond the edge of the platform.

The Harbin Daily reports the swing is called ‘Game for brave people’.

The tower is the world’s second-highest steel tower, after the Kiev tower in Ukraine. To see how frightening this could be there is a YouTube clip showing what it is like riding the swings in the Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen.

Probably nearly as frightening.
