Look at childrens playgrounds.. They used to be all concrete with (at least in the UK) a thing called a Witches Hat, that basically took out a local kid once a week, smashed face/teeth. Slides, you used to have to climb 20 ft in the air, now they set them on slopes, so kids are always at ground level, and everything is padded.
Lack of competitive sports in school, I was playing rugby against other schools from the age of 8. When I went to highschool, the first competitive rugby match ended in 1 broken collarbone, 3 neck braces, numerous dislocated fingers and a 3 inch gash down my knee, which 30 years later you can still see the scar.
