I wouldn’t want to fall 1.8m and land awkwardly, even if it might not permanently injure me.

Kids strength-to-weight ratio is drastically improved. My youngest fell that far when he was nearly 3, and was merely annoyed about it. An 80kg adult who gets unlucky falling that distance is headed for the hospital.
As someone who broke their arm as a kid falling off monkey bars, I can say that this is very case by case.
A kid that can get onto monkey bars has a much worse strength/weight than a two year old.
