I do remember a serious injury at a playground. It was when I was in 2nd grade, back in 1966. One of my classmates had the wooden seat break in the swings at school, he fell out backwards and broke both arms.Same thing happened to my brother back in 1959, broke both arms after jumping out of the swing set backwards. Never occured to my parents to sue the school.

We stopped for ice and supplies in front of a 7-11 and were basically goofing around in no rush to get there. Then I noticed that traffic was backed up in both directions for as far as the eye could see. We forgot to close the schoolbus door, and inadvertently imprisoned hundreds in traffic. We closed the door and all other drivers were free at last.
You sure zoomed me with that one. In defense, the last time I was in a school bus, they didn't have stop signs interlocked to the door opener.
