Daily Talker: Swings Too Dangerous?

Some schools in Washington state are removing swings from playgrounds because they are being called too dangerous.  School officials say pressure from insurance companies over the liability is part of the issue.  Studies show most injuries come from children walking in front of or behind a swing and not from sitting on the swing.  Parents seem divided over the issue.  Some say they have witnessed children getting hit by others on a swing, but others say swings are a regular part of being a kid, danger or not.  Do you agree with the decision to remove swings from playgrounds?
