Bike helmets didn’t get common until 6th grade or so. Same with face guards and mouth guards in anything but football.
We also had a diving board with a full size car spring. A gymnast pal could do double flips off it.
That diving board sounds fucking wild
My brother and I are rebuilding it this summer. The pool at my moms house is also being re-plastered so we’re going to drill and epoxy new bolts in the deck and sand and fiberglass the old wood, which hopefully isn’t too rotten.
Gotta get my 7 y/o diving off it this summer.
Looks exactly like this model but with on thicker spring instead of the 2. My 6’3 230lb dad could just about bottom it out.
