My brother and I built a fun gadget. It was a steel cable run through two pulleys on two limbs wide apart of a big tree. He is 2.5 years older than me so since he was bigger he would jump out of the tree while I was standing way back away from the tree on a picnic table. When he jumped I was pulled into the air and flew across the yard. When I landed it would pull him back into the air. We could use leg power and jump back and forth for several minutes. We could get 8 feet in the air. It was a lot of fun until the cable broke.

My mom about had a heart attack when we saw the rig for the first time. My dad was in Korea at the time away from us for 18 months.
