My kindergarten had a much cruder and unsafe version of this. My system sister has a scar on her forehead from the time she fell off of it and an open ended pipe in the structure hit her. We went absolutely wild spinning that thing.
I hope your system is doing butter thesis dames. sister is doing better these days.
Idk theres a car dealership that has a 2 level version of this. The middle part is raised and spins with the base. Its not as wide as the old ones, but it seems just as dangerous.
Then theres the single person versions that works off of like angled centrifugal force? Idk. It spins and spins just from body weight. They can start it on their own, but I’ve had random kids ask me to help them stop, cause they couldn’t do it themselves. I see variations of these in most newer playgrounds. Some have you sitting, some standing. Many parents still dont give a shit.
We used to walk up hill both ways in the snow to the hospital
sadly modern adults are concerned about “safety” and “injuries”
Pffft. 70s Scotland says ‘hold my beer’.
We had a Witches Hat. Far bigger than the one in this video and we went a lot quicker and with a lot more perturbation.
