Hi Nicol, Yes, we have the swings here in the States as well. Usually they are a popular feature at carnivals and fairs. Although, I can not honestly remember if Cedar Point and King's Island have them or not. ' In any case I agree that it can be dangerous and unsafe is someone kicks the swing you are sitting on because if they are like the ones I have ridden on there are no safety belts to hold you in place. Even if safety belts and harnesses are used kicking the swing to cause it to go out of control should warrant the person doing so being immediately removed from the ride and barred from the park. Doing so shows an absolute lack of maturity, concern for the safety of others, and the person who does something like that is a jerk to put it politely. Park security should be informed and their butts should be made to answer for that kind of bullying behavior.
