I Started school in 1964, and one of the items in the infant's (kindergarten?) playground was a metal giant stride (though we never knew what it was called). It had chains hanging from the wheel at the top, and wooden handles to grip onto. The whole playground was layed out on concrete, yet not one child was ever injured by it, or any other equipment. It was exiting just spinning on the thing, seeing how high you could go as you spun around.
