[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is an Orthopaedic surgeon and says that all the time.  [/quote]

Well, sure. The orthopedic surgeon sees the kids who break bones. He don't see the vast majority of kids who play on trampolines and monkey bars who don't break bones. Observer bias. I'll admit that kids who sit quietly under the tree smelling flowers are not seen by the surgeon, either.[/quote]

F you.  He sees kids that break all kinds of bones from all kinds of injuries.  A large portion of these injuries are from monkey bars...more so than any other playground equipment.  But way to be an ass.  [/quote]

Whoa!  The PP was stating the obvious.  People don't go into my BIL's neurological office unless they have a neurological condition.  Kids going into your husband's office have broken bones and the PP's right, he's not going to see the kids that aren't breaking bones on the monkey bars.  He's also not going to see the kids who aren't willing to play rough or take risks.

I think you and your DH would have a heart attack if you saw the things I let my kids do.  I allow all sorts of risky things as long as they are wearing helmets.[/quote]
