This is the type of thing that’ll have you wishing you were a kid again.

Get ready to be amazed by this Waterfall Swing!

This video is getting hella play since it dropped, and it’s clear to see why. The fascination & “how are they not getting wet?” curiosity play a big part PLUS we all know how good it feels to ride a swing, now add the thrill of narrowly missing the water?? AAAHHHH!

According to the swing creator’s website here is how this fine thang works:
Water recirculates through 273 independently controlled solenoid valves at the top of the structure to create a wall of water. Sensors mounted on the swing set gather information about the angle and speed of each swing. That information is sent to a computer that predicts the action of the rider. The computer then creates a hole in the wall of water, allowing the rider to swing through without getting wet.

– embarrassing story: I fell off a swing and into a puddle when I was little, well littler. It was class picture day and since I was so small I had to stand in the front. Dirty pants and all. :( dratz.
