But… the children! Won't somebody think of the children! Oh, they did, you say? I see :)

  To be honest, that thing is scary even for me as fit adult male. One little mistake and I could seriously hurt myself. Same for the children. I would be very uncomfortable letting my own child climb around on this to be honest. I would probably let it, but feel bad the whole time.

    I used to play on that kind of thing in my childhood. A child can (and probably at some point will) fall down, but usually not from the highest point, but rather while climbing. Also, there's sand underneath, so the landing is somewhat softened. That said, it's still easy to seriously hurt oneself on that, but I was aware of that as a child and acted accordingly.

    Those rope structures are harder to fall off than you think. Ropes are easy to grab and don't get slippery or hot.

    They are significantly easier for kids to climb on than adults. And kids generally have a good sense of their own limitations. Most playgrounds nowadays are deliberately designed with different levels of difficulty, which kids self-select on. As a parent of two kids and a teacher, they don't make me nervous.

This looks like every new playground I've been to in the US

  Yeah, it seems that a lot of folks haven't seen a new playground in the last 25 years.

  Yeah, all of our new ones around here seem to use some Dutch or German (I can't remember which) company and look almost exactly like that. All their merry-go-round type things are very different from the old ones we were used to, and IMO less good, but they probably also produce fewer injuries than the old design. They tend to come with notices warning that you probably don't want to let your 4-year-old get on some of the equipment, because it's not extremely safe for all ages. Some have climbing structures like the one in the picture that go up to about 2.5 stories. Middle of the country, and we're usually like a decade behind trends on the coasts. There was a brief "rip out all the fun stuff" trend but it didn't last long and that was more of an '00s thing.

Looks like many playgrounds in the US. I searched for "Best NYC Playgrounds" and these look seriously awesome! https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x89c258ed8c5b1c0d%3A0xec36ac885075fc36!3m1!7e115!4shttps%3A%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMeTl_F-LCRa29UcN9RBw8OvHyPmq3dXdou-Mz7%3Dw260-h175-n-k-no!5sbest%20nyc%20playgrounds%20-%20Google%20Search!15sCgIgAQ&imagekey=!1e10!2sAF1QipMeTl_F-LCRa29UcN9RBw8OvHyPmq3dXdou-Mz7&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi8n7a28oL5AhWAEGIAHZz-BK4Q7ZgBKAB6BAgPEAI https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x89c258ed8c5b1c0d%3A0x...
