 | | The jungle gym, also known as monkey bars, is a piece of playground equipment made of many pieces of thin material, such as metal pipe or, in more current playgrounds, rope, on which children can climb, hang, or sit. |
 | | The large, metal, cubic-shaped jungle gym was once common on playgrounds, but too many children hit their heads on the hard metal surfaces or got arms or legs wrapped around the unyielding bars in the wrong way, thereby spraining or breaking limbs. |
 | | The first jungle gym was invented in 1920 and patented by lawyer Sebastian Hinton in Chicago. |
