Today, if they still let kids climb on those things, they'd probably tear it down after an incident like that or make all the kids wear football pads/helmets before they could go within 20 feet of it.

Lol, and bikes. A few years ago, my sister-in-law was complaining to me about how much she spent on the kids' bikes and how they never used them. I told her "Well, they might've been more into their bikes if you hadn't made them put on a helmet, knee and elbow pads, mouthpieces, safety glasses, etc. every time they wanted to go for a ride."

I mean, I would've avoided my bike like the plague if my parents had made me put all that crap on before I could go for a ride.

Especially a helmet. It makes you look like a bundle of sticks.
