Can you Still get across a Monkey Bar at your age?

Can you?

No, and I found out that I can't water ski either.

Yep, and cartwheels, handstands etc.

But I've always been physically active.

For those who can, you should try it while upside down

Think these were the original monkey bars.

Absolutely, and if you've got the two days necessary to spare, to watch the whole excruciating process take place, I'll be happy to show you.

True eeebatt 

I did try to edit but ran out of time. My primary school had something like the one in the old photo.

OMG, that looks like so much fun

And if you have a prehensile "tail" they not only look like fun but sheer ecstasy.

Of course it was fun.....that is why they are now banned and why the children today have no sense of adventure.

I must admit they were responsible for a few broken arms though.

The watered down version of just a straight ladder like structure was nearly as bad but still fun....it was still responsible for a few hospital trips.
