Parents can't even fathom their kids playing on REAL playground equipment like steel monkey bars and swings. Now it's all plastic and safe.
Fuck that, kids need to fall down and hit their head every once in a while, that's how they learn NOT to fall

that so true
we take our daughter to a park everyday , we try to go to different ones coz they all have different stuff to play on.
None of the equiptment that was there when FH and I were kids is there - all gone and replaced with "ergonomic" safe equiptment
we weer really sad yesterday we went to the park with the big train - only to discover they've taken the big train (yes it was an actual reduntant steam train) away and replaced it with a 1/4 size wooden play ground train..
One thing I've also noticed id they dont have horizontal bars in playgrounds anymore which sucks because even now - I'd love to do a few death drops
