The kids in the above pic went on to careers in steel work and steeple jacks.

Some of these don't look so bad. We had several difference versions of these when I was in elementary school in the early 70's. I had forgotten all about "jungle gyms" I think they look way worse than they were.

the article is fun enough, but the comments are GOLD!
Wow
So because "YOU" played on this equipment and were 'just fine', EVERYONE who played on it walked away uninjured? Sorry lady, just because it didn't happen to you, or in front of you, doesn't mean it didn't happen fairly regularly to others.
Shame on YOU, miss know-it-all.
Also, if you didn't like the subject matter, feel free to write an article that is more pleasing to you. Don't be surprised however, if the comments section is full of people talking about how dangerous that old equipment was.
You might even get someone who disagrees with your subject matter and strongly thinks your article should be about all the injuries kids suffered from playing on that old equipment.
and the answer:
Sorry, Ronald, in the words of the immortal Brad Upton, "Know what happened to the dumb ones? They didn't make it."
Natural selection was alive and well until it began being gradually legislated away in the 1970s.
Just be glad you slipped through the cracks.
This is making my afternoon!

When I was in 6th grade there was a 5th grader that fell off some kind of army gunnery, like a tank without treads in the front of the high school. The kids alwasy played on it. A girl I knew who was in 5th grade fell off of it on here head. They put up signs after that saying you couldn't get on it and finally removed it.

How many of us recall seeing kids in class with casts and crutches? Or maybe you had one or two?
