id say on a swing is harder...by a long shot...i havnt done it. but honestly you have to push off the swing...ona scooter its not like u even have to push forward (like a gainer off a diving board...) it just feels natural.

i have backflipped a swing, i whore it
i have flipped on my scoot, i try not to whore it

but yeah they are the same for me when i bail, cause once you are off the scoot it is just like a swing

i find backflipping off a swing is so easy (but I'm upside down by the time I let go of it)
I've never even dared to try a backflip on a scooter

I've backflipped off of swings backwards, then I got my head stuck in some snow. It was like fakie swing flip to death. From what I remember, swings and scooters are nothing alike when flipping.
 
swing is easier because you have something to hold onto.

they are really similar though.. i usually will ask people trying flips on scoots if they have done that first.
