goes to show how much safer chipped rubber is than gravel, huh? BRING BACK THE OLD-SCHOOL WOODEN PLAYGROUNDS! while I'm at it, screw all the new child-safety stuff these days! helmets, leashes, vitamins...whatever happened to survival of the fittest? the kid who eats the most marbles, doesn't have kids of his own! then, maybe, the 'I bet I can eat more marbles than you' gene will be lost to history, and we won't have to worry about kids eating marbles!

sorry. far too much george carlin. Sucks for that kid, though...not much else to do but smoke up. Away from rubber playgrounds.
