Unfortunately this article is pointless. It's just unsupported assertions. The only part of the article which approaches something worth writing about:
> As for the increased dangers, she says Play England has a rigorous assessment system that measures the risk against benefit.
I'd be really curious to know how they quantify risk for different designs and how they calculate "benefit" in way that can be measured against it. Unfortunately, the author decided to fill an article with unsupported assertions instead.
