Wind. The sound on the second video posted here shows how windy it is there. And after all there is such a thing as a prevailing wind in some areas - you just need to look at trees in windy areas.

I agree that it's bizarre to fence them in rather than remove them, but perhaps it's a short-term measure that's quicker to arrange.

I remember when swing seats were wooden, and I know more than one kid that caught one full in the face by not being careful walking behind them. It was character building!
