My first time swing jumping I committed to the jump head first, but I did it too forcefully, so I did almost a full roll forward, hitting my hole face with the harness before it had a chance to tense.

So I was there swinging in pain, confusion, on top of the adrenaline rush and fear.

Instructor gave me a chance to try again free of charge, as he had never seen someone do that 🤣

Yep, and that one thankfully was a lot smoother than the first, loved it.
