Not many at all. One could fall down the escalator while not focusing (like being on a cell phone) and file a suit against the mall owners, thinking they will get a settlement. It happens every single day. There are many lawsuits filed by individuals looking for a few dollars. All one has to do is to file a suit for a settlement. Playgrounds in a public area like a mall is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Sad.

The lawyer will claim that whether the playground is well maintained or not. No maintenance schedule can avert lawsuits. Too many people in America see lawsuits as a form of lottery against large companies - it isn't a maintenance problem but rather a personal accountability problem.
