I can't recall anyone getting injured from a fall, and we always flew off the swing set when we had gotten it as high as it could go.
That reminds me of the kids I saw on the swings a few days ago. They were jumping off of the swings yelling "Pain!", but they always timed their jumps so that they never flew off more than a foot off the ground.

Dikiyoba blames this thread for the reactivation of Dikiyoba's swinging addiction. Old habits die hard.

Yeah, the problem with the low trajectory is that you have too much forward momentum. As a dorky child I had a tough time understanding that I had better be running when I hit the ground or else risk a scabby tumble. The jump from up high usually allowed for a few feet of forward momentum followed by a crunch and roll as you hit sand and tried to avoid injury.

Ah, but a jump from the top while you're still moving upward can be the most fun... that instant of free-fall is priceless. :D

See, you were lucky. I didn't learn what I know about flying from jumping out of swings. I learned what I learned because they broke. I ended up breaking the swing in my backyard about every two months for two years.
