              With a thing on a spring that is an injury lawyer’s wet dream? Also that thing is not cordoned off, it’s for general use, even though privately constructed.

                You know those spring things are in public park playgrounds, right? My daughter played on them when she was younger all the time.

                  All I can say is American expats are regularly gob-struck by how “unsafe” our playgrounds are. Where “unsafe” means fun and a place where kids can learn to judge risks and develop independence.

                  Are you even allowed to let a kid play there while you’re inside or is the CPS going to drag you to court for it?

                    There’s nothing in that playground you couldn’t find in a typical American playground. The Americans you know apparently just have the personalities of wet towels.
