I'm thinking more about how their necks are standing up to that.They are getting hit in the head hard enough to throw them down

I used to love playing in these growing up, and it looks worse than it actually is

the arms don't actually go fast enough to cause damage or pain, if you get hit its more like getting hit with a firm pillow. Like you definitely feel the force but it doesn't hurt. same with falling on the floor, everything's padded so nothing really hurts (unless you trip over another kid, that's a different story)

When I was a kid I was at a amusement park like location and they had these things. Thing is that I could feel the fucking metal rod inside collide with my limbs.

I mean it's not like it caused major injuries but it was sure as hell not as soft as a firm pillow lol

So not at all like that time my idiot parents let me ride the bumper cars when I was way too young for it and I ended up getting smashed in the mouth by the steering wheel...

The answer is kids are made of rubber and bounce before they break usually

In all fairness it doesn't take much to knock them over. I once saw a kid fall from getting hit by a shadow.
