schoolmates walked up. Selling
the swing On each end, they began
playfully twisting it from side to
side. Suddenly the boy. becoming
dizzy from this rocking motion,
fell to the ground. He suffered a
knee injury, and later sued the
city for damages. His lawyer con-
tended: ''The city invites children
to come and play in this park. so
it's up to the city to provide enough
supervision to prevent accidents"
But the court rejected the boys
claim, because the snishap had oc-
CURED so suddenly and so unex-

impossible to have a special SUPER
visor at every swing-and nothing
less would have prevented this
