Being a father of teenagers, somehow that doesn't surprise me.
Yup.

I'm glad to see kids playing instead of being in a bubble, afraid to do anything.

Our kids and the neighbors are definitely active! Most of the time I’m hoping they don’t hurt themselves jumping stuff racing each other and just being generally wild outside. I am glad that they play outside as much as they do versus being inside. My 10-year-old son usually spends the day building things. Today he spent a lot of time using a power circular saw cutting wood to build a bench and some shutters for a clubhouse.
When I was 10 I was always outside - collecting bicycle parts and rebuilding them. Usually shirtless and shoeless. Not much has changed in forty years, except cars are more expensive to rebuild than bikes.

How many times has the "lead engine" fallen and scuffed her elbows?

Looks like they're having fun 
good for them, I like it...
have Bactine & Bandaids on hand
I pulled 2 of my sisters around in a lil' red wagon
with a Taco-22 mini-bike, circa 1968-69
"once"

a little after my time I was 10 in 1969
but the early 70's kids did **** like 'we did'
in the 60's too
I remember jumping garbage cans on or Schwinn or Huffy stingrays
in the Cobblestone court I lived in Concord Ca.,
all the kids did it
even my sister Candy, she was 18 months older than me
total Tom Boy
I remember riding down Chausher Hill Dr.
like a 30* decline/hill/street, like a 1/4 mile long (or seemed like it then)
a couple subtle curves & dips, on a Flexi-flyer
it's like an ice sled with wheels you lay face forward on & steer it
I'd usually sit on it & steer with my feet
(or go-cart frame, with no engine, later years, even rollerskates or a skateboard)
most runs didn't end well, we usually bailed onto a grass yard
near the bottom, when it got too fast, it dumped out in a cross street
a few actually made it the whole way & still bailed in the yard across the way
