It must be said, however, that the general tolerance for child injuries was much higher. I grew up in the 1970s and a child breaking a limb was mostly expected (on the playground, skiing, sport activities). Anecdotally, I got away pretty well with just an ankle splintered by a playground see-saw, while most peers suffered a broken limb at least once. And this, while playgrounds already started to become "boring" – nothing compared to what could be still found in some places. (Personally, I was not allowed to use these.)
