Lately I've been lamenting over the loss of vintage playground equipment from the 70's and 80's. You know, the ones involving metal? The ones that are actually fun?
Here's where Japan has us beat. Their playgrounds are a U.S. safety inspector's worst nightmare. With 500-meter-long slides through parks! And little bum pads provided in huts. With the exception of a few scattered alpine slides (watch my adventure here), America needs to step up her game.
Have you ever slid down a Japanese roller slide?
