Lots of us grew up enjoying the playground. As adults, whenever we see a playground it might be tempting to run over and give it a try for old time’s sake. Tempting, but also stupid. I know this is a difficult concept to grasp, but playgrounds are made…for children. Who are usually quite smaller than adults. If you bought a pair of children’s pants and tried to put them on, you’d get stuck. Why would you expect a different result with a swing set or a slide?
Nevertheless, plenty of people still go for it, and today we’re going to rightfully laugh at them. (via Bored Panda)
