It is the reason I use ropes and stands at events like these. Unless I can be there full time with the vehicles, no ropes (or even ropes too close to the ground) = "climb me". There are also those who just want souvenirs.



Kids especially have the need to test every switch, every hinge, every moving or non moving object to try and discover where the breaking point is. And when they find it, the parents will just claim that YOU let them on there. Or if a kid trips and gets hurt, again, it will be your fault.



I do bring along a work platform (steps with rails on the top platform) so the kids can see inside, yet not make the mistake that it is somehow an entry point.



Nice vehicles by the way.
