The homemade “teeter totter” my father built for his 5 kids. How we all survived, with the only injury being my chipped front tooth, is simply amazing. The early 90’s was a helluva time.

    1. Doesn’t really look dangerous. I don’t really get what injuries could happen from this, that wouldn’t occur with a basic swing.

    2. The 70’s equipment on Elementary School playgrounds? Kids died before they made changes.

    3. Damn. And my parents just let us jump and swim in bottomless strip pits as long as an adult was “nearby”.

      That adult was my 7 year old cousin who piloted the bass boat and counted the life jackets no one was wearing. He was also the only one smart enough to hook up the battery.

      More of an 80’s kid then 90’s though.
