Kids do sometimes get knocked over by the swing but that is something that anyone near the swings just has to be vigilant off. Kids are going to encounter them at the park also. The kids love the swings and they are fun for the kids. I sometimes think I just need a 5 swing person swing set in the backyard rather than all the slides and climbers because the kids seem to just fight about my 3 swings all the time.

Kids need to learn that things can hurt them.

I try very hard to protect the kids from the swings and create a safe zone but if a kid continually doesn't listen then I will let them wander close when someone is going very slow so that they get knocked into just a little bit and learn the danger is real.
