Taking my niece to the park today I realized how easy they got it. I remember as a kid we didn't have the soft pillowy rubber tire pieces as a safety net if we fell from the monkey bars or they didn't have to deal with the metal that heats up to about 60 degrees burning your skin as you slide down the slide. They also don't need to risk their lives going around on a merry-go-round (how people thought this was a good idea in the first place really boggles my mind, those things were death traps). I remember at least once a week a kid would get a body part stuck under those things and hurt themselves.

What do you remember as a kid that has changed drastically for the better?
