Extreme swinging (360 Swing)
Russian children enjoy the swing making the "round the world" somersault (turnover). In word to word translation from russian it sounds "making the sun". There is a sport in Estonia called "kiiking". "Mythbusters" from Discovery channel say that it's not possible. "Don't you believe it!!!"
Дети "делают солнышко". Американские "Охотники за легендами" считают, что это не возможно. Посрамлены!
From the picture here, this looks like a rigid arm swing. In the US, these are not the typical swingset, which is on a non-rigid chain. Mythbusters demonstrated the rigid version was possible in their circus test, but busted the myth for the chain-based backyard and park swings.
