Back in the days kids actually went outdoors, we used to spend endless hours on the backyard swing-set.

There were no "safety materials" on the ground. No shredded tires underneath us for soft landings. There was just dirt, mud, grass, and weeds. If you feel, you skinned a knee, you ran inside, Mom put some Mercurochrome on it - and, you were back outside in two minutes flat.
