Safety last
We’ve seen some pretty bad playground design flaws in our time, but believe it or not, this slide isn’t the worst of them, though it is pretty bad. What is the purpose of the hole at the bottom of the slide? At best, kids climb out of the hole with a scraped knee. Worst-case scenario, they lose a tooth as they go down the slide at the speed of light.
And to think that no responsible adult thought to fill the pit with sand. It’s not like the playground doesn’t have enough sand to go around. Or maybe you have to hop off the slide as you reach the bottom. If that’s the case, that’s a really bad idea.
