    That kid-launching hunk of metal was precisely my fave - and the Cold War era rocket ships were fun too.

    In those days we had swings, tilts, slides, jungle jims and when we hurt ourselves, which was expected,  no one even considered sueing anyone but our parents just told us to be had to learn to be more careful.

    Yep. Kissed it better, painted it with iodine, patched it up with band-aids and we went straight back to the (asphalt or concrete) playground.
