I don't like seesaws anyway. One time when I was a kid, I got off at the wrong time and the kid on the opposite side got scratched all the way down her side. I felt bad. What's more is I'm a nervous giggler, so I'm running over to her scared for her and giggling. It was not a pleasant experience.
"What hast thou done with thy days? Bethink thee, Man, that alone, Thou of all sentient things, hast learned to grieve in thy joy, hast earned thee the malison Of going sad without cause of pain, a weeper and woe-begone."
- 'The Wisdom of Merlin' by Wilfred Scawen Blunt (1914)
My grandma still has 3 sets of lawn darts. My brother, cousins and I usually bust them out on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Independence Day, etc. Basically whenever we're all together.
If you're really going to invent something like this because of bullying, can't you just implement a system into regular see-saws that prevents bullies from doing this?
Riding a see-saw by yourself seems pretty damn depressing. Isn't one of the underlying principles of the see-saw the concept of cooperation?
Listen, a kid who wants to play AND doesn't have to argue with another kid about WHAT to play ought to have better ideas than a see-saw.
That said, buying a see-saw is retarded. My brother and I used a farking saw horse and a 4x4. Sometimes, if we were desperate, we'd use a 2x4.
And, yes, we did this without helmets and elbow pads. We marched our little asses right into the shed, dragged that shiat out and got to bouncin'. And, get this, we never got punished for it because WE WERE KIDS NOT CHINA DOLLS.
When we wanted to Slip N Slide, we went to said shed, got a tarp and busted out the garden hose. When we felt really crazy, we also went into the kitchen and got the dish soap.

Parents today suck.
Don't forget the first time you thought how awesome it would be to set up the slip and slide on the CONCRETE driveway because of the perfect slope only to wake up in the ER getting your head stitched up and both of your parents calling you a dumbass. Then you still had to clean off the driveway when you got home.

I rather like the poems. Are you a bot, perchance?
