It should be trivial to find prior art, i remember doing this is as a kid (as does everyone else probably). Also, there is no need to pull on the chain as described in the patent, you merely need to shift your weight.

All in all, another dumb patent.

The final paragraph indicates it's not to be taken very seriously anyway. How much is a patent these days?
