Kids, uh, find a way.
I remember when my school replaced the entirely wooden and very interesting play structure from the 70s with one of those new colorful, tubular metal ones. It sure looked safer. The 15 foot spire we took turns leaking off was gone. The tire swing that took out many a passing kid was gone. The piece of 5ft diameter concrete drain sewer pipe I busted my head on was gone. But that didn't stop one kid from nearly scalping himself on the new equipment, requiring 28 Staples. Nor did it prevent broken legs from falls, or many other injuries. But it sure looked safer and I guess we didn't get as many splinters. But kids always find a way to get hurt.
