Discussion topic: Was your childhood too safe?

Interesting article I ran across just now:
https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-surprisingly-scientific-roots-of-monkey-bars (The Surprisingly Scientific Roots of Monkey Bars)

With this extremely relevant excerpt:

... despite the rise of “ultrasafe” playgrounds in the 1990s, many developmental psychologists contend that risky play is essential for healthy growth and development in children, perhaps because risk-taking helps kids regulate their fears, providing a kind of blueprint for responding effectively to real-life danger.

I've been on this forum since 2011, and I have had a feeling for the last several years that we've been seeing the results of childhoods which took place in the "ultrasafe" obsession which began in the 90s. I have no substantiation for that - just my gut instincts.
