Abstract
A children's swing ride is composed of an articulated seating platform having an axis of articulation. A pair of hangers is connected to the seating platform on opposite sides of that axis and a pair of levers extends from the platform on opposite sides of that axis. In use, the platform is suspended by way of the hangers from an overhead support so that riders sitting on opposite ends of the platform can swing back and forth and, by exerting force on the other rider's lever, cause articulation of the seating platform.
