Something so "dangerous" in the US for children's playgrounds were removed a
long time ago, but in Japan, they still have plenty of giant steel things to play on and,
on three occasions, I have found ~ 10m zip line like rides. They are in playgrounds or
parks near the slides or jungle gyms.
The last one I found was in a children's play park, with many different kinds of
large concrete or steel playground fixtures that US cities would have demanded ripped
out for liability reasons a long time ago ><. They have specialty support
columns, two wires, with bump guards and and enclosed pulley that rides the wires,
and a rope that hands down that you hold onto as it zips down the small incline.

It is the tan rectangle at an angle below the round concrete thing in the east
side of the park.

Your words 'dangerous' immediately brought to mind ...
There is an 'adult' playground in Manash, South Australia ... there have
been a number of adult deaths there ..

It has been a while since I was last there .. they now have a flying
fox... I do remember the slippery slide .. umm 20 m vertical height..
the human powered roller coaster.. lots of things .. I'd not let kids
play there without supervision (if they were under my care). I wonder
if it is mapped ? No.. I go do that now.
