Gravity passengers |
Three gigantic swings, fabricated from used tires, wooden poles and a whole lot of metal bolts and cables, are suspended from Mmabatho Stadium’s outer frame. Facing each other, and dangling from a staggering height of twelve meters, the swings carry ten to twenty passengers each to enact an interplay with the forces of gravity and ultimately between passengers amongst themselves.

Looks fun…although I wouldn’t want a fully loaded 12-person tire swing to run into me. The physics aren’t going to rule in your favor.
