Kids' playgrounds are supposed to be a hub for a child's imagination, so the designs must yield to creativity. While Danish brands such as LEGO and MONSTRUM are superstars with innovative playset creations, some jungle gym designers just seem to miss the mark.

Below is a compilation of playground design fails that are far from friendly. Who knew that once wholesome characters like Frosty, the Snowman or Spiderman could become so inappropriate with just a few bad design placements. Yes, some of these backyard playgrounds are so disturbing you will wonder how the designer or parents missed it. Scroll down below to see photos of hilariously shady playground equipment that are definitely not age-appropriate, but are sure to give you a good laugh. Don't forget to upvote your favs!

Depends how you look at it. It can be quite useful for explaining how did they came to existence.. OR NOT.

Well, I guess they just used a basemodel for a superman-type hero (knickers-on-the-outside-style) and repainted it as spiderman...

Fun is bad, too many people get hurt because of fun. Now go over to that bench and watch paint dry.

You've got to climb over the green wall to slide down.... cmon! It's a metaphor for life for kids. Break through the barriers to find success. Or something like that. At least that's what the builder said.

You can't have not safe fun if you don't have any fun! Think about it.

They will just climb over, increasing the "fun" and decreasing the "safe".

Actually, you climb over the silly gate and fall head first, a*s first, or sideways onto the slide. Or part of the slide. Or wherever.

You'd think designers would know by now that certain animals, cartoon characters and people do NOT make good playground rides/games/toys. Maybe it would be best to just put good quality equipment in a playground and give up on this kind of thing.
