I watched Tarzan movies when I was young and pretended to swing through the trees hanging on vines by using a rope. Later as teenagers my friends and I found ropes hanging over streams and lakes and swung out over them and jumped in to the cool water. At some point we hung our own ropes and swung out into the water. At some point we used homemade swings or usually ropes with knots tied in them to swing out into creeks, ponds and lakes.
How many you liked to either swing over water, sail out over water and let go, or pretend to swing out over water.
[Update] After I became a soldier, military water survival training added some twists to using ropes to go into water. The slide for life and similar activities over water were exhilarating and fun.

I once jheld my self captive and no one rescued me and to make matters worse, I was in a storm cellar. The food must have been 50 years. Never got that hungry!!! PO1 John Miller

We had a rope tied to a large pine tree and swung out over the canyon. It had big pucker factor.

We jumped off cliffs into water and out of lofts.... I didn't particularly like using ropes because if you didn't release at the right point, you might drop to soon or too late.

CPT (Join to see) We used to jump off the bridge that spanned our lake. Looking back pretty dumb, but fun.
