‘Public Punching Bags’ Installed Across Manhattan to Provide Relief to Frustrated New York

Let’s face it: the city can be a rough place sometimes.
Whether it’s the endless pollution, the strange smells, or the rush hour commute that squeezes the life out of us, the urban landscape often resembles a pressure cooker more than it does a livable habitat.
With that in mind, one U.S. design studio has taken matters into their own hands and installed “cathartic public punching bags” across Manhattan in hopes that residents can take out their daily stress in a healthy way rather than unleashing it on their neighbors.

In other news, semen repositories for the stressed out soy and traansgendered are being erected on the south side. Details at 11.

The biggest surprise to me is that they are yellow and not white.

That bag has no give. It’s strapped to a huge pole in the ground. Someone is definitely gonna break their wrist.

They're legally protected with the "use at your own risk" disclaimer

Not necessarily.
What if someone saw "Public Punching Bag" and used it without reading the disclaimer located further down?
What if someone who doesn't read English (like in say, a large multi-cultural city like New York) used the device?
What if it has a dangerous condition (maybe being affixed to a wooden backing and then attached to a stiff metal pole) that isn't warned to the user? Not everyone knows how to throw a punch and protect their fingers or wrist from damage. Especially since you don't tend to have punching bags solidly affixed to a surface that doesn't move.
And that doesn't stop anyone from filing suit just because they were hurt.
