It's an older elementary school where I'd say the monkey bars are probably ~15 years old...solid metal.

Clumsy kid falls off and breaks his arm (an ambulance got called) so we found out that tomorrow there will be no more monkey bars on the playground. WTF?

What is this country coming to?

I fell off the monkey bars in 3rd grade when I was climbing on the top and broke my arm.

When my mom picked me up from school to get a cast, she just about whooped my arse.

In 5th grade I fell off a 2 story play house at St. George onto gravel and was knocked unconscious... woke up with gravel stuck up my nose and my head bleeding... walked myself to the nurses office, got a few bandaids and was sent to class

People are soft these days

Blame Personal Injury attorney.
They got greedy with all these ads telling people they can be rich every time they get hurt.

Used to be you broke a bone and just had a good story to tell, now you break a bone and you look to get paid.

I can see the school paying the medical bills maybe.

I had a thread a year ago about how normal swings were disappearing from all the local parks.

A baby today will never see a Merry Go Round or a Jungle Gym.

Their choice was probably remove them or spend thousands to add a protective rubberized surface beneath them? Guess how quick that decision got made?

So, he failed at monkey bar climbing and the school removes the challenge of the bars.

So, if he failed at taking a test, should the school remove the challenge of test taking?

He broke his arm, in sure it hurt like hell.
Pussy parents for threatening a lawsuit, or pussy school administrators who think a lawsuit is impending.

Agree 100%. They need to be shot on sight.

No worries that they will be wasted.

I'm sure they will show up at an ISIS training camp soon.

They never seem to get hurt on them.

I literally watched two of my friends in grade school break their wrist jumping up to grab the monkey bars. It's been over 20 years, but I'm pretty sure they are still there.

Good job by the school. Hopefully they remove everything at the school that could possibly harm those children
