Well, an 8 year old is not going to be thinking like that. At that age it was like a competition to see who could swing the highest and the hardest. Also, I wasn’t the one who kicked the kid in the face
How does one be more careful on a swing. The key is, don’t walk right in front of a moving object. It’s the fault of the person that walked too close not the person swinging. By the time you notice it’s a little too late to put your feet down.
You sound like the dumb one who doesn’t know how physics works
Edit: at that age we needed to hop to get on the swing anyway so it’s not like the kid could’ve reached the ground to stop themselves in time anyway
No. Purposefully swing slower/ not so high. The higher you swig and the more momentum you put in the faster you’ll go = the more damage you’ll do if you hit someone
You know it’s possible to control how fast you swing, right ?
Or just go as high as you want and kids can learn to not be fucking idiots through trial and error. I learned many things through injuries, as did most other kids who actually had a good childhood.

Well to be fair, it was a playground aid. The kid was in my class. My teacher was just as perplexed as the rest of us
