Attached to your hands, you have wings which let you push the air like an ornithopter.

Best if you were suspended from a harness.

       Hang a weight that is a little lighter than you on the other side of a pulley above the swing and then fly with ease.

       Also, why don't skateboarders (or rollerbladers) use these for extra lift and protection?
