When I was a kid, I thought that if I could swing high enough, I would be able to fly when I jumped off the swing. Not from other places, though, just swings...if I jumped from anywhere else, my (invisible) wings wouldn't work because I was moving too slowly and I'd crash into the ground. But that might have been because I was terrified of standing on high places as a child...
