Let Me Tell You What Parkour Really Is
BRRRRPPPPT. Wrong.
It’s male human beings sick to death of being sent outside in bubble wrap to play in ADA compliant playgrounds with the monkey bars set so low your knees would touch the ground –if the ground wasn’t covered with a rubber cushion. It’s little boys weary of wearing helmets to ride a tricycle. It’s the human spirit, unleashed, where it’s always unleashed — the last place you’d expect.
Go pass another anti-bullying rule while obsessing over the gruel you serve in the cafeteria, just before letting the kids go outside in a pen to watch the girls text each other while sitting on the swings. We’re playing here.

I beg to differ. After suffering these morons when they do their after dark maneuvers in the park while fishing and almost killing one of them with my truck when he fell off a structure missing the hood by inches, I view them as nothing more than a different sort of urban vandal.
I do agree with you take on kid safety though. Thinking back 55 years or so ago, I did things that would make our current nanny staters blanch.
Bravo.
