Which of the following is a safety guideline for the Giant Swing?

• A. Hold onto metal
• B. No talking during operation
• C. Hands on your handles
• D. Jump before instruction

Answer: (C)

Keeping hands on the handles provides a secure grip and direct control over your body as you swing. This position lets you steer, brake, and stabilize yourself, reducing the risk of slipping, losing balance, or colliding with equipment or other participants. When your hands stay on the handles, you can respond immediately to the motion and keep your weight centered, which is essential for a safe, predictable swing.

Holding onto metal or other parts of the setup can create pinch or snag hazards and isn’t how you maintain control. While staying quiet during the swing is a separate safety practice in some settings, it doesn’t address control of the swing itself. Jumping before you’ve received instruction is unsafe and violates proper protocol.
