Something Bad Might Happen

Moonbattery: Swing Sets Banned to Ward Off Lawyer Swarms: "Swings are being removed from Cabell County schools in southern West Virginia in part because of lawsuits over injuries.
Cabell County schools safety manager Tim Stewart said Wednesday that a lot of parents are accusing him of being un-American, but he says the cost of maintaining a safe surface is too expensive.
Stewart says a lawsuit in the past year involved a youngster who broke his arm jumping off a swing like Superman. It was settled for $20,000.

Appallingly, Sean Hannity took to the airwaves yesterday proclaiming that banning swing sets is good because children might hurt themselves. Next will be bicycles, then skateboards, then roller skates, et cetera, ad nauseam, until shoes are banned because if children wear them, they'll be tempted to go outside, where something bad might happen."
