Review Question

Question: What is the problem with this S-hook that is part of a swing system?

View Answer

The S-hook is not fully closed.

Correction

All S-hooks are pinched closed, so no gap or space greater the 0.04 inches (about the thickness of a dime) remains.

Additional Guidelines and Recommendations

  • Hardware used to secure the suspending elements to the swing seat and to the supporting structure is not removable without the use of tools.
  • Fiber ropes may degrade over time and are not recommended for swings.
  • Swings are suspended from structures that discourage climbing.
  • A-frame support structures don’t have horizontal bars.
  • Swings are regularly inspected to ensure all S-hooks remain closed and the swings remain in good repair.
  • All issues identified during maintenance inspections are addressed and both the inspections and actions taken are documented.
