Improper assembly
Notice the cross braces - they are installed upside down, leaving a sharp corner waiting to snag the next kid who doesn't notice the protrusion.
The swingset
My family acquired a swingset very much like Groucho's in the early sixties. I recognize the gauge of pipe, the horizontal bracing, the teeter-totter, and the chain links for the rings and swing. We could also attach a swinging ladder instead of one of the two swings we usually had in place. In contrast to this set, ours was red, and I guess we had the deluxe version because ours had a slide. I remember how swinging too high could make one of the legs of the swingset lift off the ground and thump back down.
