Oh my! You poor thing!

I've had my fair share with evil monkey bars as a child. They used to be my FAVORITE things. Anyway, one day at the park, I was playing in a playground and decided to climb the monkey bars (which were VERY high mind you). I was about 6 years old. I got to the very top, and decided to hang upsidedown on the top bar. Stupid idea.............I slipped, and fell RIGHT on the bar below. I had never been in such pain in my LIFE! I was 6 years old, but this is a pain that I will never forget. Just thinking about it makes me hurt in the spot that I fell all over again. I remember being all BLUE where I fell, and it hurt so bad. My mom rushed me to the hospital of course. Never again did I go near the monkey bars. Never ever ever. I think that is the loudest I ever cried in my life! OUCH!!!

BTW, I've always loved that gliding bar thing you're talking about. Guess its because I never fell off of it.
