Accidental deaths are tragic, but not as tragic as taking monkey bars away from playgrounds.
I liked the rationale that the children are learning what they can and can't do. It is logical. It teaches risk/aversion/reward behaviour.
Why in the fuck are we protecting kids so much? Are they made of glass?
Chicks dig scars.
But rationally, the people pushing for safe environments for children have probably had a child hurt by accident. They are having a tough time coming to terms with the blameless event, and are trying to exert some control over their lives. It is one thing to get a kid to wear a helmet when riding a bike, and it is entirely different to take away swing sets.
I think this might be a "Slow News Day" piece, and there really isn't anything to see here.
