My mom used both of these on me as a kid. I don't think either of them had a long-term impact on me. At the time, I'm sure she didn't know they were toxic.....or did she? No matter, I'm okay. I've been tested.

I simply can't not see that (girl?) on the middle left as falling, even if technically she is until the swing seat catches her

To my eyes: a kid in full swing, passing at the lowest point to the ground, positioning his body to increase speed (pulling the ropes while pushing the butt forward).
