News: It gets hot when metal sits in the sun. Car-at-the-beach-in-the-parking-lot hot. This is the creator of my city brand. new, zillion- Dollar Brooklyn Bridge Park is clearly forgotten because its children\'s playground has three shiny domes, each slightly larger than the bean bag chair, made of sparkling steaming, sometimes screaming thingshot metal. They are heated like a frying pan. So, the crowd came in, people went forward, and one side was stunned. Interrupted by angry parents and terrible media. The park hastily set up small tents to keep out the sun, but they were all worn out. Dink and don\'t do the work. So, perhaps, the Dome of the children is doomed. It will be ironic, because in their sheer, full expansion-- In fact, they don\'t have moving parts, no sharp edges, and no steeper places than speed bumps --- The dome seems to be the safest and brightest playground equipment ever. They are perfect for a child. Cultivate a culture that requires a world without a single world. The bubble-wrap zeitgeist. So maybe here\'s a lesson: We get burned when we work on too much safety. For the past 40 years or so, we have been trying to make our playground safer than it is --- Maybe safer than entertainment. See an old happygo- Recently circled, or a swinging door. - The one without Springs, when you\'re like this My friend knocked you down suddenly. you don\'t think I think so. The Consumer Product Safety Board has issued a large number of playground regulations and has actually advised against \"tripping hazards such as stumps and rocks \". \"Maybe we should mess up the local park and put a few spots --- It\'s made of plastic this time. The idea, of course, is that the playground needs to be constantly remodeled because the children are hurting themselves unnecessarily. But it depends on your definition of \"unnecessary. \"Children are at risk,\" said Joan Almon, executive director of the State Department. S. Childhood alliance. \"Give them some real risks and they will soon know what their limits are and then they will expand their limits. \"The problem is that if children never run into even small risks, they will not develop the common sense we say. Joe Frost, an honorary professor at the University of Texas, wrote 18 books on children\'s games. For the past 33 years, he has also watched the children frolicking on his personal development playground at the Redemption Luther School in Austin, and constantly tinkering. \"There is a public school a few blocks away, and the principal told me that they have had two or three fractures this year,\" Frost said . \". At the same time, at Redeemer, \"for 30 years, we have an average of one on the playground every ten years --- Our kids from 4-to 6- Foot deck when running dead They play chase games on the device and throughout the country you will find that schools are not even allowed to do so. \"He\'s right. The school banned tag and other running games during recess. At my son\'s public grammar school, children are only allowed to run around the yard and not anywhere in the middle. There are too many chances of injury for someone! So why did 500 students from Frost not hurt them? Frost said that\'s why he and his friends didn\'t hurt themselves while playing in rural Arkansas: they had a feeling of safe driving height and speed. They learned how to protect themselves. They even learned how to fall safely. You can guess how a child gets this particular skill. A playground for children to move, slot, grow and think requires a frisson for adventure. This is what Denmark realized in World War II: children actually prefer to play in the bombed ruins -- More than the buildings on their regular playground! With this in mind, the Danes began to build the \"adventure playground\" full of \"loose parts \"---aka junk. England has also adopted this model, with London once having 200 adventure playgrounds. Almon says it still has about 80, and about 1,000 still prosper throughout Europe. Just outside Zurich. - The cleanest city ever- She saw three. Story shed in the distance: child- The tower was built on the adventure playground. \"They look like they\'re going to blow in the wind,\" Almon said . \". \"But, of course, the children use so many nails that when the staff at the [playground] are trying to remove these structures so that the children can build more, they have to use the chainsaw \"These workers supervise but do not over-protect and encourage the children to Hammer, cut and climb. Not surprisingly, there are only two adventure playgrounds and one at Huntington Beach, California in the United States. Open only part-time.

Of course, what makes such a big change in the US playground is the fear of litigation. Take slides as an example. 1978, a Chicago boy from 12- Slippery feet and damaged brain. There is no more sad story, so you can predict what will happen next. A 1982 article in Pediatrics suggests no playground equipment above 6 feet tall. It only makes sense if you want to make sure that no child older than 7 is excited about going to the park. Thankfully, it sounds like a good compromise if these height suggestions are properly closed and these height suggestions are allowed today: safe but still interesting. The regulations on other playgrounds have also provided help without dispute. Who can object to replacing asphalt with soft, sticky stuff (well, other than New Yorkers who claim that the playground mats in the city are very hot, the wise Park Commissioner basically says this: wear shoes. ) Also better, no longer allow screws to stick out from playground equipment- Probably saved one or two teeth.

But this is impossible. Risk is part of life. It makes sense to minimize it. Trying to eliminate it means eliminating the game because it\'s always possible for children to get hurt when they play.

J. , a well- Insurance companies in the suburbs of Philadelphia have announced that wooden playgrounds in the town must be removed. \"This is a very popular playground,\" said Lawrence Spelman, the town\'s chief executive. \"It\'s big and there\'s a lot of corners and gaps to hide. Kids loved it. We don\'t want to take it down at all. \"But it came down because, even if it was built in 1990s, it did not meet the latest requirements. Goodbye, Gap. Farewell to more playground staples across the country. Julia Chen, the owner of a game store in Palo Alto, said that all the sand had recently been removed from her local playground and replaced with wood chips.
