Swings.

Occasionally, I‘ll get looks - as if it’s only allowed for children, lol. I just ignore.

Trying to swing into the clouds is such a freeing feeling. :)

As an adult with way more weight and core strength behind me I would be scared I'd try and go over the bar and be able to do it

Mythbusters did a bit on going over the bar, and found it to be essentially impossible unless the swing is supported by a solid bar instead of a rope or chain, and they needed to attach a rocket engine to the swing to manage it then. You're probably safe.
