Think you were using them incorrectly.

I guess swing jumping for distance is also out of the question.
I went to a Catholic elementary school, and although we were not supposed to play tackle football and red rover at recess we sometimes did. The teachers even watched us jumping off the swings as long as no smaller children were in the landing zone.

We used to climb to the top and stand on these things at my playground. I'm sure they're no longer around.

I sometimes wonder how many arms were broken by kids at the egyptian and mayan pyramids. I say lots. But they probably handled them way differently eh? Maybe some adobe mud on the should and a flauta then to bed? I dunno

Public schools have discretionary immunity from personal injury lawsuits
Nope. They are liable in tort just like any other entity.
If litigated the plaintiff would need to establish some level of negligence on the part of the school system to impute liability. Some angles that could be pursued:
Negligent supervision - the age of the child might impact the level of supervision required
Condition of the equipment
Was protective landing material required
Teacher /student ratio on duty
The removal of he monkey bars could be used against them in litigation and they could be accused of spoliation of the evidence.
If equipment was in good condition and supervision was appropriate they would be better served by defending on the merits and characterizing this a fluke accident which could happen any place where kids play.

Wrong. Public entities have discretionary immunity. The removal could not be used against them. That is a subsequent remedial measure and is specifically disallowed as evidence.

Lawyer speak sounds all well and good but when that injury attorney gets their jury in place it's all but over for the insurance policy.

As someone that literally broke their arm falling from monkey bars in grade school, this is pathetic.
Pussification of our country.

What state are you in? Are you referring to sovereign immunity? Discretionary immunity applies to decisions by public legislative bodies. It would be a stretch too apply that to this situation.

Discretionary immunity applies to Louisiana school boards and employees for employment related decisions such as allowing monkey bars on playgrounds and/or students on monkey bars.
BTW I agree it's ridiculous to remove based on one arm. Just don't think fear of suit is the culprit. Not a lot of lawyers looking to sue school boards for a broken arm.

That happened to me in kindergarten... they didn't remove the jungle gym.
Instead, the nurse told me to quit crying, gave me an ice pack, and stayed two plus hours till the end of the day.
Things sure were different 35+ years ago

In 1967 we had a kid in my elementary class break both of his arms on the monkey bars. We would play king of the hill and kids would
hang off you while you tried to cross the monkey bars span to the other side. The winner would make it across with most kids hanging off of them.
The principal told us to stop its stupid.
So we went back to making ramps and jumping them with our bikes at recess.
Ah the good old days.
We had a PE teacher just out of the
marines in middle school. He kept a cigarette in his mouth smoking while showing us how to do push ups. His wisdom was hey guys don't pick on that nerdy girl. One day she will have tits and nice tail. You want to keep her on your good side.
Man those were the day and coach was full of wisdom!

Older elementary boys should be playing football and smear the queer at recess anyway.

I'm actually surprised this hasn't happen proactively and sooner. Not for it at all. But in this day in age, people freak about being liable for anything. I take my 2 year old to the park about once a week and let him climb on anything while I supervise. It's amazing how many unsupervised kids are hanging upside down from monkey bars and shite. Again, if they fall, I don't think anyone should sue. Especially the parent thats not supervising. But if I owned that park, my butt cheeks would be clinched the entire time those kids were playing because I'd be afraid they'd have that sue happy parent.
