[quote=Anonymous]I think there is some truth to the fact that monkey bars are the last remotely dangerous piece of equipment at the playground. That said, I personally know 4 kids that broke their arm/elbow from falling off the monkey bars. One I saw with my own eyes: he was reaching for the next bar, hanging on with one hand, then that hand slipped and he fell on his side, with the other arm under him. He broke both bones in the forearm and was in a huge cast for 8 weeks. I still let my daughter play on the monkey bars, it's her favorite thing. But I always remind her to go slowly and don't try to reach for a bar too quickly or too far away, just do a controlled drop to the ground.[/quote]
