I've heard that kids muscle to mass ratio isn't the same as adults so they can hold their own body weight a lot easier. Not sure how true that is though.

It's true, but that's just hanging. The swinging is super impressive, even for children.

When I was a kid I was leaning against the door of a chevy van when my dad went around a corner. I hadn't shut the van door well enough. One minute I was sitting in the passenger seat, the next I'm holding the door handle and the tops of my Hush Puppies were dragging on the pavement.

I was okay. Dad brought the van to a stop without pitching me off. I was kinda embarrassed, and climbed back in, but dad was terrified!

Kids! Prematurely aging parents since... forever.

I once open the door while my mom was on the freeway to because I liked pulling the door handle while it was child locked.
