When the high diving boards disappeared from public pools I knew the end was in sight.For me, it was when the swingsets disappeared from the schools.

Must be a public school thing. My daughter’s private school just installed equipment that is theme park worthy.

It's amazing any of use survived to be adults.:) Remember lawn darts? My grandparents got those for my brother and I one summer. It took about 30 seconds before my Grandmother realized she had unleashed two eight-year-olds with deadly weapons. They disappeared pretty quickly.
Evidently, some people are still running Jarts competitions, which probably carry heavier penalties than a Michael Vick dog show. www.jarts.com

I remember when the seats were wood with metal fittings.
I got whacked in the head more than once, too. But I’m still perfectly norbal.
