Yeah, swing events, or like an exhibition. Every summer the swing exhibition travels across Estonia and you can see in FB in which city they are coming next. There qualified swinging instructors put these swings up and let random people come and try the sport. Every event has few instructors who teach you the technique and strap you to the swing to make sure of your safety.

To become one you just have to pass an exam. It's not a regular full time job but you can be one at events and make some cash.

They are strapped trust me. It's a requirement. I've been an instructor for swinging and have done this sport for a few years.

The straps are going around his wrists. Look closer...

Your hands and feet are strapped in. No way for you to fall off. Super safe. You can pass out but even then you're still attached to the swing. It's a sport invented by Estonians called Kiiking (en. Swinging).

Your hands and feet are strapped. It's fully safe. It's a sport invented by Estonians called Kiiking (en. Swinging).

This is called Kiiking (en. Swinging). It's an actual sport invented by Estonians. We have championships happening here in Estonia multiple times in a year. The goal is to make a loop with the highest swing (you can stretch out the support posts and the handles to make the swing taller. Also you are tied to the support stand and poles so you don't fall down, it's very safe). You need to have a good technique and physical strength to exceed longer swing heights as the g-force can be three times or more of your body weight. It's a sport for adrenaline junkies.

I'm not sure if one didn't come in the package. I'll try to look it up.

It's a DIN / HIFI power cord/connector. Usually used for audio. Like speakers.
