I've always had the urge to try, but I figure it's going to take a hell of a lot more than 8 feet of braided latigo to keep me airborne! And now I'm too old to explain something like this to an ER technician. I'd have to say "Uh, yeah. I broke my arm swinging from a whip..." And they'd all have a good laugh and tell me to get out of the hospital.

: Has anyone actually tried swinging from their whip? I tried once, when I was younger (it wrapped a branch pretty good, but snapped while I was airborne - good thing there was no fiery pit under me, and luckily the whip was not expensive). I know you're not supposed to do that, because it may damage the whip, but... just out of curiosity... has anyone... ever...
