Playing
it Safe on Swing Sets for your Children 3
You need to keep your swing set maintained on a regular basis. This also
means setting up your swing set correctly, specifically adhering to the
instructions. Also keep in mind that there is less chance of a child
being hurt on a swing set that is composed of rubber rather than metal
because his chances of injury are less likely in the event of a
collision with another child.
If you have a baby or very small children, you may want to consider
purchasing a baby swing. Make sure that it attaches securely. A child's
safety is mostly dependent on his supervision when he is very young.
Watch him closely while at play or swinging from the baby swing.
It seems as though children nowadays have more supervision than they did
years ago. In fact, some people even complain that children have too
much supervision. This may be the result of people having fewer
children, whereas, years ago, parents may have had too many children to
watch at one time. In any event, it is so important to watch your
children and make sure they obey the rules of the playground, then
intervene if the play gets out of hand. After all, one of the basic
elements to playground safety is supervision. Some of the more basic
rules of playground/swing set safety include: no running in the path of
a swing that is moving; stop at the marking and check to see if there is
someone on the swing; no jumping off the swing; no running under the
swing; and no throwing the swing. Also there should be no climbing on
the support bars or hanging from the bars of the swing.
Even with all this supervision, your child will still be able to feel
free as he plays on the swing set.
