You gotta have nerves of steel...

...to set your kid loose in a playground. I may never allow Myfanwy to play in one after watching this (I'm kidding).



Mind you, most of these mishaps occur with the adults playing on the children's play equipment (and let's hope no one was seriously hurt).

I remember when I was about 5, I fell off the back of a swing and the seat swung back and hit me in the head. Fortunately I didn't need stitches above my eye. And don't ask how many times I came close to vomiting after spinning around on one of those blasted merry-go-round things.

The guy going down the slide with his kid at 1:11 -- I almost peed myself laffing. The poor kid is like a rag doll. It's one of the funniest things I've seen in quite some time.

[God, please don't let me ever do something like that. And may Myfanwy never ask me to play on the equipment with her (and may no one have a video camera handy when I inevitably succumb to her pleas).]
