BRAVE SWING FRAME
B0419
Make your frame Comply with EN71 (EU only) The following instructions are given so that both Brave and you can comply with a E uropean safety directive EN71-8.
We do want to comply with this directive and therefore must print them. Not only do we fully agree with the spirit of the regulations (the desire to prevent accidents), we also think it very sensible that you should be aware of the potential for accidents that the regulations have identified.
SAFE POSITIONING
200cm
Your swing must not be installed over concrete, asphalt or any other hard surface. Children can be seriously injured swinging into obstacles. We recommend positioning your frame at least 2m from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, patio, wall, laundry line or electrical wires. Additional accessories may increase the size of the Safe Play Area. The swing frame must be level. Installing your Frame with a lean or ‘rack’ puts additional stress on all the connections and joints and in time will cause them to fail.

Regulations vs Play Value The Brave swing has been designed so that is very difficult to tip over. Even without the stakes it just narrowly fails the En71-8 stability test. The addition of concreting-in instructions means that the test is not required to pass En71. If this seems like a fudge to you then consider that a really well-set frame is more fun to play on than one that lifts its leg - even if that leg-lift is thousands of Newtons shy of tipping the frame over.
Prevent Overturning
Children could be seriously injured if they were able to tip the Frame right over on top of them.
