The guide is intended to helpoutdoor playworkers to manage the risks - and benefits - associatedwith rope swings , and to provide practical advice on how to install them play equipment in artificial play areas is subject to the EN1176Playground Equipment Standard and the EN1177 Playground SurfacesStandard. These standards do not provide appropriate guidance fortemporary play structures in wild spaces however. Such environmentsinevitably contain many physical features that have not been designedwith safety in mind, as well as other risk variables that are beyond anyreasonable expectation of direct human control. The fact that a spacehas not been designed with children s safety in mind does not necessarily mean it is unsuitable for play, but a culture of risk aversionin play provision can lead to this assumption.
Selecting a site The primary criteria for a successful rope swing site are simple and intuitive: look for a large tree with a high limb to attach to and a swing zone that is clear of obstacles.
