Kiiking
Kiiking is the sport of going over the top on a swing all 360 degrees.  It started in Pärnu, Estonia in 1997 and now there are competitions and many world record attempts.

Kiiking can't be attempted with a regular swing.  A kiiker must be able to safely go over the top while standing on the seat of the swing.  So the seat has to be stiff  and the rope not be made of metal loops.  

Kiiking requires strength and the longer the swing, the more strength is required.  The current world record is 7.01 meters by Andrus Aasamäe on July 16, 2000 in Rakvere, Estonia.

"Russian engineers have resurrected a 30-year old Soviet Military prototype to develop "Quickwalker" boots - a hydraulic piston mounted on each boot is driven by an engine contained in the heel to supplement the human walking motion and allow the user to jump over obstacles two metres high, take four metre strides and run at up to 60kph over long distances. Small tanks on the side of the titanium and aluminium frame boots hold enough fuel to cover a distance of approximately 20km."
