This is a video of some guy rope swinging out over a creek, but failing to let go and plowing hard back into the tree and a wooden platform somebody attached. I’m pretty sure I just watched this guy’s internal organs explode like the Death Star. His friend laughs it off, not realizing that this guy will probably pass out and die as a result of all his exploded organs on the hike back to their car. If I were him I’d start constructing a zipline to the nearest hospital, pronto. Or at least wiping my prints off everything.

Keep going for the video while I look up if they’ve stopped teaching ‘Don’t forget to let go’ in Rope Swinging 101.
