So ever so gracefully fell out of a tire swing managing to get my arm caught in the chain. So while I'm hanging there by my arm while its slowly dying and all i can think is how sore in going to be tomorrow I got it going pretty high and so i fell probably 6 feet while getting my arm yanked. Just one of life's little reminders that I'm not as nimble as I used to be.

Tire swings are meant to be big dangerous things with metal lining sticking out, frayed ropes and cracking branches!

Kid was real banged up. Nevermind the fact that I somehow projectile puked a bit, radially, during the experience, and don't remember it.
Haven't been on one since. Never again.

Also, take care of that arm.

I feel your pain.
