I somehow flipped over one of the bars and bashed my head on the deck (wooden on ours rather than metal) when I was around 6 or 7 years old. No stitches, though I don't see any noticeable scar. I don't remember much aside from seeing blood and a headache.

My grade school playground equipment was made of old tires, chains, and wooden posts. Injuries abounded, and not one of our 1980s parents gave a shit.

Pffft. 70s Scotland says 'hold my beer'.

We had a Witches Hat. Far bigger than the one in this video and we went a lot quicker and with a lot more perturbation.

We had those in place in the US too.

[–] grogreen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

These were so much fun as a kid and pretty good as a drunk adult too

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 6 points 2 months ago

If no adult gave a shit, why don't we see them anymore?

We used to walk up hill both ways in the snow to the hospital

Idk theres a car dealership that has a 2 level version of this. The middle part is raised and spins with the base. Its not as wide as the old ones, but it seems just as dangerous.

Then theres the single person versions that works off of like angled centrifugal force? Idk. It spins and spins just from body weight. They can start it on their own, but I've had random kids ask me to help them stop, cause they couldn't do it themselves. I see variations of these in most newer playgrounds. Some have you sitting, some standing. Many parents still dont give a shit.

I remember when I was 6 years old I fell off one of these things at full speed and almost killed myself. Funny times.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

Like many, we got one going way too fast. But what got me was a rock that shifted underneath it while I was spinning on my back holding on to the middle with my feet. Clocked me in the back of the head, felt like a bullet. I was alright, but it could have been much worse...

My kindergarten had a much cruder and unsafe version of this. My ~~system~~ sister has a scar on her forehead from the time she fell off of it and an open ended pipe in the structure hit her. We went absolutely wild spinning that thing.

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I hope your ~~system is doing butter thesis dames.~~ sister is doing better these days.

my friend's 6 year old sister actually broke her leg on one of these back in the day

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

This is the way
