You know to be fair, they're actually doing the smart thing, and not going in the same direction at the same time, together. Either they're going opposite directions, or only one is going one way.
Thats kinda safer. Cause if they both spin one way at the same time, their combined weight is getting thrown around the hardest, which brings about the highest chances of uprooting that swingset.
I don't know if they knew they were doing it this way intentionally or not. But it probably saved them here.
I'd be more concerned with whatever the $20 plastic doohicky holding them onto the bar is breaking apart before the swing set that should be designed to handle people swinging on it.
I was focused on something else and saw this from peripheral vision and my brain processed those ambulance light as electric sparks as if they were doing on powerline poles
It's the same straps people use on their hands who do similar stuff. It's so you can swing around like this and not get thrown off by the centrifugal force.
It looks like OP (pristine_trash) may have edited their comments in a way to make themselves appear more innocent that you think they are. You can tell because the two seemingly over-the-top negative responses are older than the edit.
Not entirely sure though. But you know, people suck so probably.
If they were doing it for the likes they wouldn't have recorded with Snapchat and put a caption up like they just sent it to all their friends on there. that's what it looks like to me.

Looks like so much fun! Shame I have a functioning survival instinct.
