To make it more challenging, kids tended to improvise, walking up the slide the wrong way, or using supports as a climbing apparatus. Sometimes younger children were drawn to the older kids' equipment, presumably because it presented a more interesting set of challenges. -----signature----- E Pluribus Unum

Neither of which are being used. My guess is it has less to do with the lack of challenge and more to do with kids watching t.v., playing video games, or trolling the internet for videos of other fat, lazy kids. -----signature----- "ou'll rue the day you crossed me Trebek!"
