Push for "adventure playgrounds" comes with safety concerns

[@mymia1027]

That was how we played in the 1950's and 60's in the US. They weren't playgrounds, we just found interesting places where there were no adults. Yes we got bumps and bruises but boy did we learn a lot of common sense and good survival skills. It also helped us to learn to work together and work out our problems.

[@dann7524]

When kids play in a normal playground they think they can do anything because they think its safe,but when in an adventure playground,kids Know they can get hurt,and they are more Caution because in their vision,its dangerous,so they are cautious.

[@Marieparawho]

Dann Yes exactly! I watched another similar video where they allowed the children to use many different tools. They simply gave them guidelines and rules about the tools. The children were careful and cautious because they knew the expectations they were given.

[@pythons206]

we need more playgorund like this in amrcia

[@wilsjane]

@@Marieparawho I remember the time that we had a bonfire to get rid of all the waste wood. the only advice that we were given was to wear leather boots and proper denim jeans, along with taking our shirts off to prevent embers from catching them alight. One of the older guys put an old pair of nylon sneakers and his wrecked synthetic joggers on the fire to show us the dangers of wearing anything synthetic around fire. To this day, I still warn people of the dangers when we have a barbecue or bonfire. To me it is just common sense, but in today's times of doing everything on computers, common sense it not too common and every year people pay the price.

[@Ravenofthedog]

I stepped on a heroin needle in a normal playground.(I was wearing docs so it was fine) This looks great and mighty educational.

[@iViking90]

That's a hazard. The idea of these playgrounds is to expose children to controlled risks that they can see and manage on their own. A hazard like a needle is a hazard because it cannot be easily seen until it's too late.

[@jinjunliu2401]

I want to be a kid again so badly right now It looked so much fun

[@mhgb1333]

With the children's Adventure Playgrounds out of the way, I think the next step is to have a pre-teen to adult Adventure Playground. Where you could do lots of things and have the resources to do so. Unlike real life, where you need money* to buy wood, hammer, nails, and all that stuff just to make something fun. *Specifics on money because that shizzle-wizzle is what makes the world run most of the time, unfortunately.

[@dulvab9968]

Temporarily or permanently?

[@tlc12070]

Why are they?

[@noahway13]

My nephews love to come over because I give them real life adventure. I tell them how to work on their bikes (changing inner tubes, putting chain on, etc) and I don't let the watch me, I give them the tools and let them make mistakes and subtly guide them. I also let them use spray paint, do light construction, etc. My son is in college and he stays busy doing odds and ends for friends because they don't know how to work on cars, do construction in the house (like hanging shelves) and so on and so on.

[@e13kid]

I grew up near an adventure playground in hackney, it was lots of fun. No power tools though, lol.

[@talalcockar1389]

My 3 yr old daughter spends a lot of time playing with my stuff while I'm building things in the shop or on job sites and she doesn't get hurt. Probably the worst thing is that she's using my tools and screws when I need them! She's gotten hurt on regular playgrounds and off of them but it's part of growing up, parents just need to accept that and understand that their kids are developing a whole host of skills and knowledge by doing this stuff.

[@hannahscott6604]

Yes I would. At 6 they’re more than able to learn

[@Secretfiles999]

The earlier they’re exposed the better!

[@jaredf6205]

As much as I agree with kids being able to play with fire to learn how it works and spreads as this can prepare them for emergencies with fire as adults, that’s one thing that maybe needs a bit more control and supervision.

[@docorjohnlorenz8454]

The mom is completely correct! I support her opinion on this with regards to her daughter! I stepped a lot of sharp things before as a kid, glass, nails, sharp wood, you name it. It gave me the values on what to be cautious off growing up

Lmao are people genuinely afraid of this ? What about climbing trees what about sports all of these are genuinely dangerous stuff plus never in my childhood have i ever saw a kid actually play in the playgrounds instead they climb trees they make the things too dangerous they climbed on the top of the playground they took genuinely dangerous risks and that's not healthy plus getting hurt is a normal things people have to experience to learn as a kid only did i learn to be careful near furnaces when I actually got my finger burned only did i know not to spend too much time in the sun when i got a sun burn getting hurt is a part of learning and i hate to see people underestimate that #givechildrenachildhood

But what if a kid accidentally starts a fire and burns the whole Playground

[@ChefBuckeye]

The kids learn something, it's better for the whole playground to be burnt down which would only probably be a little bit of a loss than for their own house to be burnt down. The kid and other kids would learn that fire needs to be respected. If you say "no, don't play with fire" that starts making them think and be curious about fire and it's better for them to play with fire in a safe environment then in their own house.

true, but the whole point of adventure playgrounds is to expose children to risks and hazards, so they are trained to protect themselves, while safe playgrounds temp kids to who knows, try getting into risks and hazards. i totally agree with you though!

[@internetpendeja1906]

@@jamesmcnaughton9939 it's true, kids know more than you would think. Kids respond well to being treated as an adult and will take great caution if given adult tools. On "safer playgrounds" kids might get bored and will try to find risky things aren't allowed to do such as climbing the metal poles of swings, and mess around on monkey bars.
