Safety is ridiculous nowadays. It's rare to find swings in playgrounds... and if you find them, they have chains covered in rubbery stuff!

Playgrounds are a good example imo. Of course everyone wants to help their friends to avoid pain - but ultimately everyone has to make the choice by themselves... there are many people out there who were educated in a save environment and this way have no idea of what dangers or a loss really are. They see it on their televisions prime time and are happy to live in a better world thinking they are better people. Dreamers
My grandparents were brought up in a post war environment (loads of sharp objects around and if you touch the wrong thing you might trigger something ungood) - this way they learned how to become responsible individuals; of course one will get scars but at least they know why they got them....

Do you have children, Gherkin.
After catching my finger in the chains of a swing when I was a child, I will do every thing feasable to stop the child that I love from hurting themselves in a preventable way like that.
Sure, I can't stop him falling over and scraping up his knees, or bashing his head when he trips, but it doesn't mean I don't try.
Isn't that what unconditional love is all about?

I'll make you a deal Vanize; I'll take the time to answer your question, if you first have a little go at putting yourself in my position, and try to predict what my answer would be- and then post your prediction here.
Fair enough?

Vanize- from your description above, it does sound like you did a lot of high-risk stuff.

I just think it is ridiculous that kids aren't allowed to have a real playground anymore.

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.

Kids like danger. The fun of going on a swing is the feeling of danger.
