Lol…yeah. 90 degrees gets you to the bar. Unless you have enough centrifugal force to overcome gravity, once above 90 degrees when gravity takes over, your motion is towards the bar nd down, not back the way you came. Can get some serious chain slack, which is what we tried for. We also jumped out a lot. Seemed like once past 60 degrees, getting out of the seat was getting difficult, usually turning your jump into a uncontrolled fall. At least for me and the other idiots at recess. Seemed like there was a few broken bones from that a couple times a year. I got lucky and no broken bones but got the wind knocked out of me several times at impact with the ground. Good times!
