No other protection. Yea, that was safe.<br /><br />And yes, I fell off of that.

And were they not worried to death every.single.day? No seatbelts, no helmets, dangerous metal climbing and spinning equipment. My mother had a small compact car at one time with two bucket seats in the front and a little console in the middle where my little brother used to ride! He called it the hump. It's a wonder any of us survived! But ahh...the memories. :)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209297120840809760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460752002305157.post-77736158974758297442012-08-23T11:06:15.427-07:002012-08-23T11:06:15.427-07:00I think of the things we used to do on the monkey ...I think of the things we used to do on the monkey bars - lots of hanging by our knees, and one activity I remember where we lay down crosswise on top of the bars, reach under them to grab them, and then flipped over so we were hanging by our hands. And yet I never remember anyone getting hurt. I do miss that equipment sometimes, although I'm sure if I saw it as a parent I'd feel differently. Playgrounds these days all seem to be exactly the same, no matter where you go.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335915683875653154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460752002305157.post-74717872493979350092012-08-23T08:49:42.466-07:002012-08-23T08:49:42.466-07:00I remember my unsafe, old playground from elementa...I remember my unsafe, old playground from elementary school. I still cringe when my 4 yr old attempts to play on a playground in our neighbourhood. She has two left feet and always hurts herself.

They are rickety, metal, a tetanus shot and broken arm waiting to happen. I just recently learned they aren't even cemented into the ground. But the kids play anyway, and so far noone has gone to the hospital. So far...Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034712520389831844noreply@blogger.com
