Porch swings are hung using eye bolts. It depends on how large (diameter) the eye bolt is and how long it is, to have more than enough threads into the joist. I wouldn't trust or feel comfortable with a 1/4" eye bolt, which looks, to me, what that is.

I vote: No.

two 1/4" eye bolts (forged, fully closed eye, not home depot) should support a load
of 1000 pounds.


for non-forged (wire, i.e. not fully closed) eye bolts, the limit is 50# per each 1/4"
