I completely agree. When I was a child, there was a super fun steel monkey bars in a park near my home. I used to play a lot on it. Fear was surely one of the fun factors.

Then they removed it, because the local council was afraid some kid might get hurt.

It's sad.

They still make and install quite a bit of things that used to be considered "unsafe" (mainly because they make it plastic and brightly colored)
