Our playground equipment doubled as tornado shelters. Big old concrete pipes on asphalt.

I played on one exactly like that in the small playground across the street from my grandparents' house. They also had a really tall (stainless?) sliding board that we'd sit on waxed paper to go faster. There was a heavy merry-go-round made of 1-1/2" or so pipe with maybe eight 2x10 seats.. Real monster with grease zerks that actually got lubed. Tall frame for the wooden swings that were known to try to KO a kid from time to time. We survived!

I have a permanent crown on a front tooth from a set of monkey bars like that

Sliding board?
I mean, I would have guessed this was a UK term or something... I had to check where you are from. So now I'm confused about that. Is it an age thing?
I mean, we've always just called it a "slide". Assuming we're talking about the same thing, of course. I *think* my parents called it a slide, too, but I guess I can't be positive.
Hmm. Mysteries of life, I guess.

I think it is more of a regional term like pop, soda, coke type thing.

Man, that lap belt is way too high - it's gonna cause more damage than it prevents. It needs to be way down in your lap... I can't believe he would be walking around so dangerously. He needs to wear that correctly so all the people around him are safe!
