  As a German, who was a kid once upon a time, I can answer some questions:<br>Do these slides get hot? - Yes, very. And if you burn yourself on a hot summer day well, you learned something important for life: Hot things will burn you.<br>Will you get splinters from all the wood construction? - Yes, and it will be your fault for not looking before you grab something. Again, a lesson learned.<br>Will your parents be able to sue someone? - No, because we have nice signs posed saying: &quot;Benutzung auf eigene Gefahr&quot; which losely translates to &quot; Play stupid games, win stupid prices.&quot;

  My dad was an architect for the local municipality. As such he built many schools and Kindergärten along with their playgrounds.<br>He once told me &quot;I&apos;m designing playgrounds that <i>I</i> want to jump around on! If it gets adults tempted to play, the kids will have a blast, guaranteed.&quot;

  If you want that your children become independent Adults. Don&apos;t monitor them 24/7 and let them take risk.

  In Germany there is the TÜV = Technical Inspection Association that checks everything.

  Welcome the Germany. I learned the meaning of gravity on the playground and to know your limits and grip 😂. But unfortunately the government doesn’t invest much to keep them in a good state. And btw: the metal heats up like hell in summer…. Not a lot of fun…. You can make eggs sunny side up in August on the slides..

  Kids in Germany often injure themselves at playgrounds. A broken arm is proof that you lived childhood to the fullest. But mostly we get scratches and bruises. But kids do get scratches and bruises everywhere. So who cares? They need to learn to deal with a bit of pain. <br>The fun they have ans the fact that they overcome fears (eg. of heights) is worth it.

  In Germany most children will learn from a young age to take risks (smaller or larger, depending on the family and if you are a country or city child) - and also take the fall and pain for them sometimes. We were always allowed to play alone in the fields with the cows, play in the forest and get muddy, dirty, fall and roll down hills and get impaled my sticks and had to go to the doctor but we learnt from it, went back into &nbsp;the forest, removed the sticks that could hurt us and build a house with them instead the next time. :) Because of all &nbsp;the smaller mistakes you learn to avoid the big ones. When I was 7 we went out alone to play in the woods, was pretty normal here, we just told everyone where we were going and when we would be back.<br><br>I think every German child (hopefully) remembers the METAL SLIDE burns. XD

  The swings at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usFNBSkouec&amp;t=240">4:00</a> are connected, so you push your child by swinging yourself. Thats genius...
