Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) Practice Exam

Handholds on seesaws should be provided at each sitting position for gripping with how many hands?

1. One hand

2. Both hands

3. Either hand

4. No hands required

The correct answer is: Both hands

Seesaws are designed to allow for balancing between two people sitting on opposite ends. Providing handholds at each sitting position ensures that both individuals have the ability to grip and hold onto something while sitting. Option A of one hand would only allow for one individual to grip, limiting the seesaw's purpose. Option C of either hand does not provide consistency between sitting positions. Option D of no hands required would defeat the purpose of a seesaw and could potentially be dangerous, as there would be nothing to hold onto while balancing. Therefore, option B of both hands is the correct answer.
