I've seen the systematic removal and disinclusion of swings from playgrounds here in Canada since I grew up. It was already under way when I had just been born(mid-late '90s). On one hand, I'd have to agree with it, it's not like we made that decision in a void: swings are really dangerous, I have seen people break legs, kick in heads, and do all sorts of things on swings, it simply isn't worth it. Though I enjoy swinging, I didn't really care that much losing it, and have lived very happily without it for the better part of a decade. On the other hand, we have to consider that quality of life significantly decreases for active people, when they're forced to be less active. I'm of the personal opinion that even children(assuming they are not raised in physically abusive or discourse-deprived homes) have a fairly good sense of their physical boundaries, and the physical boundaries of others. I am generally in support of increasing freedoms like this, which have a clear impact on quality of life. The greatest danger I was exposed to in a playground was when the supervisors blew their whistles to rush us back into class, I would frequently be pushed into doorframes or dangerously distracted by goading(to the point where I would run into things like signposts).
