There are swings at my local park.  They were designed by competent engineers. They were installed by competent builders. They&#x27;re regularly maintained.  The council (who own and operate the park) have insurance.<p>I am aware that there&#x27;s some risk involved in swings - don&#x27;t walk in front of one when it&#x27;s being used, don&#x27;t use it when I&#x27;m drunk, don&#x27;t do handstands on it, but I also know that using it normally is pretty safe.
