In fairness, nothing could be quite as hazardous as the old-style Victoria Park. In common with several members of my primary school class, my childhood was full of fun and trips to the SGI. There was a marvellous roundabout with a sloping top, onto which it was almost impossible to gain a secure purchase. My first night in hospital happened after I flew off said roundabout at impressive speed, landing on my head and making less sense than usual. I also had to have stitches after a steam roller injury (steam roller - best piece of children's play equipment EVER) and took ghoulish pleasure in the progress of an injury to the leg of a friend, who had fallen from the top of the wooden slide. Evidently large splinters of the slide had disappeared into her thigh and for some reason, when the SGI mended her, they couldn't retrieve the splinters and promised that they would "work their way out" in the future. And they did! Can you think of anything more fascinating for unpleasant children in a pre-playstation era?
I should imagine quite a lot of child abuse went undiscovered in those days - however dramatic the injury everyone would have just assumed you'd been to the park.

I remember the old wooden slide they had there. Took a bit of it with me one Saturday in the form of a large splinter that went under my fingernail right up to the first knuckle. It smarted a little as I remember until a nice lady at casualty removed it with tweezers.

I suppose if it had happened now my parents could have made a nice little claim, if they had a mind to...

I'm actually wincing at the thought of that... OUCH!

When I was young*, children were frequently mutilated. I remember one lad slipping when climbing a chain-link fence and pulling the top joint clean off his little finger. Another lad was run over by a tractor and we had to dig him out of the ground with his two broken legs.


*Yes, I was.

Daniella loves the parks she squeals, babbles with delight when we drive past, when we have been in there i have been hot on her heels behind her she wears a little back pack ruck sack harness which i hold the handle to.
i don't smoke so you won't find me doing that horrible habit, i was unaware that a mother allowed a little one in the skate area, she must be crazy to allow that.

The best part was that she had difficulty getting her out as she had an even smaller baby in her arms.

Hi db, thanks, was trying to upload a pic of the offending frame!! anyhow its the one with small logs around it which my daughter wanted to play.

 

[emmy]

I knew the police wouldn't do anything they were alerted so they could keep a closer eye on that area, with school holidays.
If Daniella had been seriously hurt then that would have been a different matter to action on.

Hiya hope you little girl is okay now and i no what people mean abouy kids being hurt i am only 16 my self but over the holidays i have been lookin after my 3 year old cousin jaden and he was pushed around and hurt several times by older people proberely the same age as me playin on the park for small children. Anyway just hope daniella is ok xx

Hah!, you arrived on a meteorite and we still can't find an antidote.
