      As a geologist, this type of data is my bread and butter – every rock tells a story, geologists read them exactly how the comments here are unfolding.

      Bravo OP. This is my favorite post on this sub in months (maybe ever).

      Now this is a good data visualization. I wish someone with more knowledge than me could extrapolate approximately how many initial right hand attempts and left hand attempts it took to create this wear pattern and perhaps what percentage of attempts made it to each bar.

    7. MarathonHampster on

      I don’t think this chart accounts for the number of righties vs lefties attempting in the first place. More wear could indicate righties make it farther or just that more righties use the monkey bars.

      Me grappling every 2nd bar cuz I’m extra monkey-like, throwing off the stats.

      I’d love to see the wear pattern on the bars from the vantage point of other end!

      According to the comments, it seems the Reddit consensus is that: the children using the monkey bars are one handed pogo stick pirates.

      70s and 80s kids survived real concrete floors under our jungle gyms. Or just rock hard dirt.

      I can infer that the half-life of kids’ arm strength is approximately one rung.

    15. smk666 on

      Also a good illustration on the distribution of stronger kids who can actually make it further than the first two or three rungs.

      What I think is neat is that the left hand of the second rung has the most wear. I don’t know why this is. Maybe kids get to the second rung and then hold on longer and drop off, so more hand oils and sweat get left on there?

      I wasn’t allowed to touch those bc someone attached a razor blade to one in my town

      Pathetic progression. I am a lefty and also 37 1/2 years old and could do almost double that. Jot that down in your dataset.

      i worry about spongey rubber, wood chips and sand hide the dropped jewelry for me to come and take at 4am when nobodies there, rubber some kid will find it

    22. The_Rox on

      I do wonder if by the time they are strong enough to make it past the first 2-3 rungs, if they are too big to be using that play set.

    23. TheDevilsAdvokaat on

      As a kid I was never able to do these. Just never had the strength and coordination.

      Now as an adult I am 140kg and i STILL cant do them…

    26. Even_Wear_8657 on

      You’re missing the confounding factor that only roughly 10% of the population is a leftie, therefore, the first-bar/left-hand position is inherently going to receive less wear vs the first-bar/right-hand position. Therefore, this says less about right-handed children learning monkey bars sooner—just that there are fewer left-handed children learning monkey

      Association doesn’t mean causation. The paint job could’ve been done badly on the first two bars.

    30. HistoricalSuspect580 on

      Ohhh that is a really interesting observation!!! As a lefty, i love this kind of thing!

    36. husky_whisperer on

      Why would I worry. All we had was hard-packed dirt with a thin veneer of landscaping bark.

      So we got the high impact landing AND splinters.

    38. but_a_smoky_mirror on

      Major assumption that everyone is starting on the first pictured rung.

      I normally start in the middle and go back and forth.

      Data is confounded

    39. MrsWidgery on

      Wrong interpretation. You are assuming that the population of monkey bar users is equally divided into right handers and left handers. In fact, in the USA, 90% of the population is right handed, which is about the global average. So, the reason left handers have not worn away the paint to the same degree is not that they don’t get as far, but that there are so many fewer of them.

      I wonder how we compare at the correct understanding of statistics.

      > Don’t worry. It’s spongy rubber tile, not concrete.

      Looks like lava to me.

    41. alittleblueboy on

      Interesting that most kids move their left hand first but few can make the transition with their right
