United States Patent: 6,368,227, in which the "inventor" swings from a tree branch or other like equipment, not front and back, but side to side.
The user may even choose to produce a Tarzan-type yell while swinging in the manner described, which more accurately replicates swinging on vines in a dense jungle forest. Actual jungle forestry is not required.
Not since this patent have I seen such idiocy from the patent office.

Sheesh - I remember doing that when I was 8 years old. I think I may have even done the Tarzan yell. I should have patented it back then, I could have gone to a better college *grin*
