The point of kettlebell swings is to swing back behind your legs, stretching most of your lower posterior chain (really helps if you’re trying to improve your deadlifts). You could use a barbell (Olympic pole is the standardized barbell), but I was imagining someone standing up like doing a deadlift, swinging the bar forward, then right back into their legs and hurting themselves.
