When I was a kid we used to climb jungle gyms with nothing but good old asphalt underneath, and we loved it! You fell, you hit a few jungle gym bars on the way now, you hit the asphalt, then you got back up and did it all again.

Pretty soon all kids will be allowed to play on are big circles of foam - and even then someone will sue because of insufficient lumbar support.

Yes, or from fumes from the foam.

Absolutely, asphalt or beds of small stones. Our jungle gyms in central PA were often made of those giant industrial spools. In 4th grade I broke my wrist jumping from one. My dad shoulda sued.

Of course, those were the days when, if you got in trouble at school, you actually got it worse when you got home.
