    You know those spring things are in public park playgrounds, right? My daughter played on them when she was younger all the time.

      All I can say is American expats are regularly gob-struck by how “unsafe” our playgrounds are. Where “unsafe” means fun and a place where kids can learn to judge risks and develop independence.

      Are you even allowed to let a kid play there while you’re inside or is the CPS going to drag you to court for it?

        There’s nothing in that playground you couldn’t find in a typical American playground. The Americans you know apparently just have the personalities of wet towels.

          America has a lot of problems but the idea that Americans can afford to be frivolously litigious is hilarious.
