RISKY PLAYGROUNDS? Schools get sued all the time over injuries that occur on their playgrounds. Most schools have eliminated most of the fun equipment that we enjoyed as children and replaced it with equipment that meets higher safety standards. Lots of companies made a lot of money as a result. Not that there was a push from the playground equipment industry to encourage lawsuits, but they probably were involved in developing laws and policy which mandated that schools purchase their equipment. No conspiracy, just good ole American entrepreneurialship in action!
