Nothing new there...the elementary school that I attended in the 50's
and 50's couldn't pay their liability insurance for 3 years
straight...couldn't use the playground, play any running or ball games.
We were allowed to play jumprope guess no one thought of the
straggling factor...kids didn't normally kill other kids back then...)
They took the teeters off the totter, unhooked the swings and chained
off the slide. They chained the merry-go-round so it was
stationary...was a bummer...recess was boting as heck...

Doesn't do any good anyway. Kids will find ways to get hurt. I got a
spiral fracture of the tibia in grade 3, in the sand pit. Course it
took two other kids swinging me by the feet and hands to see how far
they could toss me. ;-o Guess my mom should have sued and I'd be
rich(er) now. (gr)
