Michael, yes this is what I thought when I saw the sign too.
Every equipment on the playground can be dangerous if misused even swings.
Yes, too bad, and too bad for kind of nasty response.

Barry this is because of issue we had months ago when little girl hurt herself.
Unfortunately, this is something way to big, and I think waste of money.

Marvin we thought that what we were getting something simple, but no they came out with this brilliant idea.

I’m much older than five, but I’m guessing I’ll need supervision too. I would probably hurt myself.

Have a terrific day and weekend.

That sign wasn’t what I expected when I noted in my blog posting when this issue was debated at council:

“The only change that needs to be made in this case would be for the town to add a nearby sign stating the equipment should be used by those five years old and up while being supervised by an adult.” See: http://michaelsuddard.blogspot.com/2011/07/confederation-park-climber-kerfuffle.html

From the photo it looks like the sign is like a decent size billboard that shouts at us to say: “Hey we warned you…if your kid falls off this thing, you are responsible! ”

What’s next, the swings in the park now needing an even bigger warning sign because a kid could fall off those too while in motion? Kids have been falling off swings at Confederation Park for at least 20 some odd years longer than the camel structure has been around. Yet no sign is saying “use this at your own risk.” Oh right, there is a sign at the entrance to the park saying this no bigger than than a 12″ x 8″ that suffices.

Too bad someone missed this on the camel structure so the Town had to go to such great expense. What is Regency Acres community coming too really?

Someone may have sued a town over an injury and purported inadequate signage. Thus, the insurance companies may now require such big warning signs of the municipalities.

I think the simple, blanket statement on the park sign, “Use at your own risk” should be enough. Those stickers are for lawyers, not for actual park users.
