A new bungee swing for providing swinging and bouncing motions. The inventive device includes a flexible seat. A pair of bungee cords each have lower ends coupled with respect to the flexible seat and upper ends coupled with respect to an elevated overhang.
A swinging seat includes suspension members having coil springs of nonlinear response so that the seat has a desirable bouncy feel for a wide range of weights supported on the seat. The springs in one embodiment are barrel shaped having coils of maximum diameter at the middle and coils of minimum diameter at the opposite ends of the spring.
