How Does Old-School Playground Equipment Compare To Today’s Overly-Protective Playground “Fun.”
Are today’s kids too soft? Not enough grit?
If so, maybe everything’s been made so safe they can’t build toughness.
Playground equipment is the perfect example.
Safety netting everywhere. Nothing higher than 4 feet off the ground.
“Danger” warnings on signage with 23 rules.
Sure, my 3rd grade classmate, Chad, knocked his two front teeth out falling off a slippery metal barrel on our playground. But it was super-fun (just not that day!).
See the rest of this story’s old-school playground equipment comparisons to modern equipment. Decide if kids are over-protected→ judge by the photos of the following:
High-flying steel see-saws vs. today’s safety-first model.
Hardcore merry-go-round vs. 2025’s plastic version.
A crazy, old Barrel Roll device ripe for concussions.
