The simple stuff has always been known. To run well you must wear a top hat.
However, that climbing picture reminds me of my childhood school. I'm just old enough that all my school equipment used to be telephone poles constructed into very high, and very dangerous obstacles which routinely resulted in broken arms. Children really are missing out these days.

Had anyone ridden this thing they would have been pasted. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1018965693897760768.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1018965693897760768.html
