Wake Up With: The Most Dangerous Playground Equipment in the World



You know, kids these days get an awful lot of shit about how they're soft, they're pansies for not playing dodgeball, their "we're all winners" atmosphere, they're a bunch of momma's boys, etc, etc...And for the most part it's all their fault too, when I was 6 if the coach didn't know what the score was in YMCA tee-ball I would throw a shit fit.  "It's 8-6 us in the top of the 4th buddy, how about paying attention and doing your job before I go tell some of the parents there's been some inappropriate touching going on?" Sometimes you gotta take matters into your own hands kids.

Well this video goes a great length to disprove that notion about today's kids.  Back in my day we didn't have blatant death devices out on the playground, and I'll tell you another thing, I would have been scared as shit of using this thing unless I was the first person on that thing.

Anyone can go first when you don't know what the consequences are, but after seeing that first little twerp pound sand with his two front teeth I think I would have hesitated to give this thing a whirl.  But not the kid in this video, kid has serious balls.  Jumped right on there and rode that thing like a bull named fu-manchu....and then promptly asked his parents to take him to the chiropractors.
