When we were kids, and I was 13 or 14 my brother and I went to the hardware store and bought some cheap pulleys, a steel wire cable and some anchors. We put them up in a tree in the back yard that had some large Y shaped branches.
My brother could climb up in the tree, jump out while holding onto the handle and I would back up against the fence, holding on to my handle. When he jumped out, that would pull me up and across the yard, and him back up into the tree. We could bounce back and forth several times before we had to restart.
After a while, one of the pulleys broke while I was flying across the yard. I landed face down flat on my front side, in the yard, bounced a few times and said some bad words, laughed and we went back to the hardware store for bigger and stronger pulleys. Mom was mad about the grass stains on my clothes.
