ABSTRACT:
A swing having a stationary support member to which is pivotally attached to first and second arms. The first and second arms are in turn pivotally attached by connectors on side wings that extend from a base member. The base member has an arcuate surface that extends from a first end to a second end with the side wings extending on a tangent from the second end for a fixed distance to a terminus point. The center of gravity of the attached base member is selected such that the base member is in an approximate horizontal plane with the first and second arms in a rest position. A person mounts the base member to define a prone position with their hands on a handle adjacent the first end and feet located on a support attached to the terminus point of the side wings. As the person propels the base member in an arc about a first pivot of the first and second arms and stationary support, the base member pivots rotates in a counter manner on yokes which attached the side wings. The first and second ends of the base member remain in a substantially proportional and equal distances from a ground lines as the base member sequentially moves through parallel and horizontal planes with respect to the ground line to give the person a sensation of speed.
