Brooklyn welds playground equipment
Another example of insane “nanny state” thinking, disallowing kids to play because there is a chance of cuts and bruising. 😦
The city is putting the brakes on spinning playground equipment following reports of injuries, a Parks Department spokeswoman said.
Rotating metal saucers that kids ride at two Park Slope playgrounds were recently welded into place so they can’t move, and the city has made similar modifications or removed a total of seven disks citywide “in the interest of public safety …
“I think it sucks,” said dad David Friedlander, whose 2-year-old was disappointed to find the the spinning disk at Vanderbilt Playground in Prospect Park suddenly stuck in place in late November. “I think it’s a sad commentary on how litigious and afraid we’ve become of having our children get a few boo-boos.”

introducing backward handspring
In an advanced recreation class it’s not possible to spot every child, even though they ALL want to work towards backward handspring.
In fact, I ask my instructors to NEVER SPOT … with the rare, odd exception. 🙂
Tumbl Trak founder Doug Davis shows some activities kids can do safely and without spotting. A high level of physical preparation is required, of course.

Awesome. From personal experience, seeing your children with developmental or other difficulties overcome these through gymnastics and translate those ‘wins’ to other areas of their life is incomparable and unquantifiable – priceless.
