Highland Games.
Spinning around is the Weight Throw, weght with handle and chain
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_throw
Handle attached to the weight is Weight Throw for Height
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_over_the_bar
where you chuck the weight over a bar above your head and dodge it when it comes down.
Maybe that's why sewing machines don't usually come with handy handles
right on top.

Yeah, throwing the toddler across the room, wouldn't have been so
good...
