There was an old candy cane striped metal playground abandoned in my neighborhood. It was completely overgrown but still useable. We would ride the swings all the way up into the tree line and jump off at the very top, hoping to end up in the tree branches. After an hour or so most kids would make the jump and we could climb to the very top of the trees.
I can't tell you his many broken bones and er trips our parents had to make. We constantly assured them that weren't playing at the old playground in the woods.
