There are said to be | There are said to be several "glitched" swing sets around [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]] and [[Alderney]], including the swing sets in the playground in [[Firefly Projects]], yet two are accessible to cars and vans, and in a back garden of a mansion in [[Westdyke]], on the junction of Owl Creek Ave and Tenmile St. Most of these are easy to access, specifically the two listed above, so it leaves sufficient space to allow the player to maneuver a decent-sized vehicle into position, the most popular method of exploiting the glitch. | ||

If the player presses up against the swings in a vehicle then it will often be flung, with little or no warning, an incredible distance through the air; it is not uncommon for flying vehicles to reach or even clear [[Outlook Park]] to the west. The end result of vehicular flight is almost always catastrophic bodywork damage, although frequently the engine is left running. This enables the player to cruise away in their ruined vehicle.

The end result of vehicular flight is almost always catastrophic bodywork damage, although frequently the engine is left running. This enables the player to cruise away in their ruined vehicle. A vehicle that is flung using the swings will often turn out severely deformed, but drivable, in such a manner that could not be easily achieved through street crashes, or crashing into solid objects. | ||
The player risks being thrown out through the windshield upon launch, often depending on the initial orientation of the car; facing the vehicle to the swing will increase the likelihood of it happening. Having been thrown out and falling from a considerable height, the player may fall to his death if he is thrown to the west instead of the east, where the player may land safely in water. However, it is nearly impossible for players to get launched through the windshield in multiplayer. It is also recommended to have the side where the vehicle's engine is located to not touch the swingset or else the engine will eventually catch on fire. | The player risks being thrown out through the windshield upon launch, often depending on the initial orientation of the car; facing the vehicle to the swing will increase the likelihood of it happening.

The best vehicles that hardly get stuck and go as far as (or beyond) [[Outlook]] on average are the: [[Turismo]], [[Cabby]], [[Declasse]] [[Taxi]], [[Habanero]], [[Merit]], [[Minivan]], [[Moonbeam]], [[NOOSE Cruiser]], [[Perennial]], [[Police Patrol]], [[Police Cruiser]], and the [[Vapid]] [[Taxi]]. It is possible, yet difficult, to use the glitch on a motorcycle, and it would be unwise to do so because of the increased likelihood of being flung of the motorcycle to your death.If a [[Bus]] is used on the swingset it will either be flung to the west and land somewhere not to so far or if its done on the swings right next to the block of apartments,it can send you underground spinning endlessly until you or passengers exit the vehicle which will end up with you spawning in random places as [[Hove Beach]] or right next to the swingset. | ||
