Just watched the video on the www.swurfer.com website. The tree they found for the swing was as impressive as the swing itself. Fun idea!

I see some risk. Falling off(especially young children)...swinging into main tree trunk ...hang limb snapping(was too thin/weak, hidden fracture)....

How about a harness attached to rope side handles for safety?

So.. click-clacks, airzookas, and easy bake ovens, thing makers, all the fun stuff should be taken away in the name of safety. Get him a helmet and some pads I say.
