I don't know how many of you have ridden a skycoaster (Ripcord, Xtreme Skyflier at most parks) but for those of you who haven't its like a giant swing. You get winched up about 150 feet and dropped and you swing. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ih-DKUHcwKw
I worked at the Ripcord at Cedar Point this summer and on my last day this is what the steel cables you swing from did to a bird.
