Whoever designed this slide has obviously never heard of safety first!!!

When I was a kid I remember this slide being a dream come true! You would get a running start and run up it as fast as you can just to slide right back down again! It was always so fun and reckless! I remember it looked like it was about thirty feet tall and you were going to run into the clouds when you got to the top! I remember climbing up the slide seemed like you were climbing up a straight wall it was so steep and if you had the right clothing on, you would fly down like a rocket ship! I remember just having the best time on this kind of slide!! I think one of the best parts was, there were no sides to hang onto, so if you fell because you got to cocky and went to fast or if you just lost your footing, you were in a world of shit! It was a long way to the ground my friend!!!

But, the other day we went to the park while we were in New Hampshire and this slide was there! Guess who gravitated right to it? Maggie! I was a nervous wreck watching her run up the slide that had no side rails to hang onto in case she got to cocky or just lost her footing! When she climbed the ladder which still seemed like it went to the sky, the only problem was, if she fell it was a long way down my friends!! She would get a running start and run right to the top just to slide back down, it really just didn't seem as fun this time! The thought of my Maggie falling off a slide that seemed like it was thirty feet tall and no side railings for her to hold on to in case she slipped just didn't seem fun anymore!

As I watched her run up and down the slide, just like I used to do, it brought back so many memories of being a kid and going to the playground and just having the most fun you can have!!! Can you imagine the most dangerous thing in life to worry about is if you are going to make it to the top of the slide without falling off!!  Maggie really did have a good time just being a reckless carefree kid teitering on the edge of disaster with one false move to the right or left and it was fun and scary to watch all at the same time!!!
