I don't feel that it would be wise to take away any playground equipment that may be deemed as possibly dangerous. You talked about the Merry-go-round, and the seasaw, what about swings, jungle gyms, monkey bars etc. There is inharent danger in any playground activity! Are we going to ban our kids from running next because they may fall down and hit their face on the ground??? Let's let our kids live a little, and experience life. It is impossible for us to protect them from EVERYTHING!

Let's take roller blades off the list too. I snapped my right wrist when I fell and landed on my hands in the 7th grade. Was not a fun summer. I still cringe when I see those things.

HasTy, I love that song
 I wish it was that way now and as I was growing up. * is 15* I wish video games were never invented. It annoys me to no end, kids need to go outside and have fun, not "have fun" staring at a screen. |

My kids have one video game and they have to earn the use of it I make sure they are outside most of the day and they can only watch tv at night they dont mind that they lovebeing outside well see what happens as they age but its true you have computers,videogames, and our kids are mad because they dont have what the others do I said well when your old enough to get a job and make money then you can buy them but im not spending so much money on gaming systems they are lucky there aunts bought the one they have.
I use to play outside from morning till dark with friends and you never had to worry about cell phones or anything else you just came home in time for dinner and things were so much easier |

How about the huge Burger King slides that used to be on all the playgrounds around North Carolina? They were probably 10-15 feet tall. Giant heaps of scrap metal. When I was about 8, I was looking down at a friend from the top and somehow fell over the rail. Landed flat on my chest and my face. I never climbed to the top of a Burger King slide again.
