If you are a thrill seeker and you love to travel then you may need to travel over to China soon. On June 30, Chongging, China will open up the world's scariest swing.

No. Nope. Hell no! That's what I said out loud when I saw the video of this massive swing in China. This is crazy! Just taking a look at the video made me all sweaty and gave me some anxiety.

The swing catapults you over the edge of a nearly 2,300 foot-tall cliff at speeds up to 80 miles per hour. WHAT?! The new swing is said to be a more thrilling experience than any other famous swings in the world, including the Nevis Swing in New Zealand and the Glenwood Canyon Cliff Swing here in the United States.

The swing consists of a 328-foot-tall tower from which the swing's metal cables are attached, and a 350-foot-tall launch tower which allows the swing to achieve mind-numbing speeds. The new super-swing is currently undergoing additional safety inspections and is expected to open June 30.

Would you ride this? I wouldn't get on this thing if you paid me! How does it stop? How long are ya on the thing? Nooooo!  I'm out! Read more about the swing here.  I have no doubt that hard-core adrenaline junkies will be all about this thing!
