The other week, she climbed up the back of the couch (we were sitting next to her) and freefall backwards onto the cushions. Holy ... :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-ever-fallen-off-a-play-structure#post-2155261 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 02:01:37 +0000 lamariniere 2155261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad she's ok!</p> <p>My son fell off of a play structure and broke his leg (while at school). I've been anxious about play structures since then, and always spot him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-ever-fallen-off-a-play-structure#post-2155086 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 21:05:23 +0000 KT326 2155086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad she is ok! DS fell about 4ft as well. So scary. Luckily he was ok too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-ever-fallen-off-a-play-structure#post-2155011 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 20:20:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2155011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: it's exhausting! There is a park further away that has a nice big play structure with hardly any drop offs, but it's a much longer walk... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-ever-fallen-off-a-play-structure#post-2154990 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 20:13:13 +0000 deerylou 2154990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: same aged LO, same deal at nearly ALL of our local parks. She doesn't want to play on the "toddler" structures, anymore, because their slides are only as long as she is tall. So, instead, I just shadow her on all the death traps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-ever-fallen-off-a-play-structure#post-2154972 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 20:08:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2154972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, but the playground structures around here have so many drop offs, I have to pretty much shadow her the whole time (she's only 21 months). My friends son, same age, very nearly walked off an 8 foot drop off the other day. She has super fast reflexes and caught him but it was really scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-ever-fallen-off-a-play-structure#post-2154959 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 20:02:24 +0000 BandDmommy 2154959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fell off a swing set when I was 5 and landed spread eagle on tbe the ladder (it was a metal playground). I ended up severely hurting myself and spent years in and out of the OB/GYN. Thank god it had no effect on my reproductive ability. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-ever-fallen-off-a-play-structure#post-2154928 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:54:02 +0000 mediagirl 2154928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: thanks! It was scary in the moment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-ever-fallen-off-a-play-structure#post-2154875 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:29:40 +0000 chopsuey 2154875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww glad she's ok!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-ever-fallen-off-a-play-structure#post-2154873 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:29:16 +0000 mediagirl 2154873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because that happened to us today... Tell me it happened to you, too? </p> <p>My lo was climbing a ladder type thing, let go and fell 4ft to the ground. Ugh. She was fine, just shaken up and her back hurt a little. </p> <p>If anything good came out of this, she learned the consequences of letting go. She would do that with us spotting her and we always tell her she has to hold on. Today I was watching from the bench. </p>
