This item of playground equipment is a cut-above the traditional seesaw. The double spring construction not only allows for a more comfortable ride but also for a higher level of safety. If a child should jump off in the middle of a ride, the special strong spring stops the child on the other end from hitting the ground with a bump. In addition the stabilizer in the middle stops the seesaw from rocking from side to side, as can happen on many older types of seesaw.
