Nice pics that bring back memories.

Yes, so many places eliminated them because so many of us were maimed or killed on them and other fun stuff, like Joey...no not Joey, maybe Sally...nope not her either, .. come to think of it, no one I ever knew, my family ever knew was really seriously hurt (the occasional broken arm or concussion was NOT a serious injury back then) on them. T venture that it was people not being responsible for their own actions and the growth in the number of lawyers that caused the disappearance.

If the snow would have always been that deep, then.... SNOWBALL FIGHT!! oops, those are not allowed anymore either.:-D

Deaths on playgrounds existed, but were rare. The link mentions 34 investigated in the US, over a 5 year period. Not exactly a bloodbath.
