My 16 yr old son was on the baby slide.....Was not doing anything stupid, just going down the slide, was going so fast at the bottom of the slide his knee came up and hit him in the mouth and caused one of his front teeth to be pushed back. If it wasn't for the permanent retainer in his mouth, he would have lost his tooth. Took him to the dentist and found out that he had three fractured teeth and possibly fractured the bone. The day before this happened to my son, a little girl was on a slide and both of her front teeth were pushed up into her gums. I have tried to get a hold of someone to tell them they need to do something to make this safer for kids, but their voice box has been full! Now you can make the call on whether you want your kids going!
