Further solidifying the city's reputation as an adult playground, visitors to Las Vegas can now test out heavy machinery such as bulldozers and excavators in a giant "sandbox" located right off the strip.
For some reason, these two kids thought they could simultaneously jump from one precariously balanced see-saw to another. Their plan ends up setting off a chain reaction of fail when one of the boys falls short in his leap and has the seesaw smack him full-speed in the jaw. Ouch.
If you were a kid in the early '90s, you surely remember the commercial for the Milton Bradley board game Crossfire, which combined 'Beyond Thunderdome'-like visuals with a hard-charging, fist-pumping, arena-anthem of a theme song.
In this video, glam rock pseudo-band Steel Panther cover the once-ubiquitous Crossfire tune, and Freddie Wong, who also directed the video, tries to avoid being taken out by a life-sized Crossfire game.
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. At least that's how the old adage goes but if this video compilation of playground fails is any indication, it's only after someone gets hurt that the fun really begins.

Losing a child is every parent's worst nightmare and when that child turns out to be a Beanie Baby monkey named Bongo, that nightmare doesn't get any less real.
Don't let the DayGlo hair fool you, trolls can be seriously dangerous creatures. Take this high-haired 27-year-old perp, who was arrested by Georgia police last month on a suspicion of battery charge
A doll which allows little girls to simulate breastfeeding is coming to the United States.
Toy company Berjuan's "Breast Milk Baby" includes a person-sized halter top that has two flowers where a mother's nipples would be, and makes a suckling sound when the doll's mouth is pressed up against them. It's been big seller in Europe, but the Spanish toy company's decision to begin selling it in America next month has touched off controversy.
What could be better than working at Legoland? Pulling a Lego prank on your boss, of course.
Employees at Legoland California built a full-sized replica of general manager Peter Rochetti's car out of the colorful blocks. Made out of 201,076 Lego pieces and weighing in at 2,934 pounds, the copy is an almost identical likeness to Rochetti's Volvo XC60. Watch the caper (and the big cheese's reaction) below:
