minus-squareSummzashi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·7 days agoSounds like a massive liability tbh. Playgrounds need to adhere to high safety standards, for very good reasons.
minus-squareRooster326@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·7 days agoHmm yes. Liability. One of the top 10 reasons the world has gone to shite.
minus-squareSummzashi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·7 days agoAh yes, we can all do with some more dead children.
minus-squaremeowcar42O@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 days agowow that’s so cool, I would’ve loved that as a kid
minus-squareChristerMLB@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 days agoYeah, me too. I visited one in London a few years back, and it looked like a ton of fun
minus-squareschnurrito@discuss.tchncs.decakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·8 days agoIf you’d asked me at the age of 9 I would have said, the entire playground should only be swings, everything else is unnecessary. Younger children might not have appreciated the result very much.
