Good lord! Do you remember those damn steel slides that would heat up to 1000 degrees in the summer and take the first 5 layers of skin off the back of your legs?
Now everything is rounded plastic so it's "Safe for Kids." Wussies. What ever happended to the Monkey Bars above a slab of cement. Or the merry-go-round that was off-balance and you had to have the fat kid sit in the "right" spot. Or the teeter-totter that the seats were broken so you sat on the metal poles and smashed your nuts? Or the Jungle Gym that was over a pit of broken glass and trash? Huh? Where are these things?

Ouch!
I think we had this slide at my school.
Actually, the slide at my school had a giant hole/small valley at the end of it, for an added layer of playground fun.
