Swing set repair opinions

Pictured swing set is two years old. The manufacturer is out of business so can't rely on warranty. I think there's some issue with the torque being applied when swinging. The cross beam is a PT 10 ft 6x4 attached in the middle with a U bracket as shown in the last photo.

The pictured cracks have appeared on the cross beams and A-beam legs. Are some/all beams needed to be relaced or something that needs to be worried about? Safety is primary concern. Received a quote from 84 Lumber for a Glulam beam at $185 each. I believe at least the cross bar is needing to be replaced.
