UK - Ruabon - Boys using hammer in risk averse playground

Boys use claw hammers in risk averse playground called The Land on Plas Madoc Estate, Ruabon, Wrexham, Wales. Young people are encouraged to push their personal limits in a way that parents are nowadays scared to allow. But here in this council play park, children are encouraged to experiment with risk aversion, to enjoy a wilder form of play and interaction with others - the opposite of online relations and over safe childhoods. From the chapter entitled 'Playing with Fire' from the book 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Allianz, The School of Life, Profile Books, 2015).
