Why Modern Playgrounds Suck – The Death of Awesome Play Equipment

I’ve been ranting about this for years, too.  (Hat tip: DYSPEPSIA GENERATION)

What you see above is the type of playground that was common before the 1990s – the type of playground that is both awesome, and able to harm children in many  grisly ways – a feature which makes it doubly awesome. In the last 20 years,  parents have lobbied to crack down on these so-called “dangerous” playgrounds  because of their fear of harm coming to their lame-ass kids. Apparently modern  parents think it’s a bad thing for their sons and daughters to come home with  gaping animal wounds, or broken bones, and that’s where I say they’re  wrong.

Frickin’ safety-Nazis…
