When I was in 4th grade my class went on a field trip to the museum. Since we were all little bastards, we would run around and play tag when the grown ups were not looking.
The kid that was "it" decided to run after me to tag me, so I ran away into what I thought was another room. Turns out the other room was a wall painted to look like some outdoor Dinosaur exhibit, so I ran face first into a wall, like Wile E. Coyote except I ended up with a huge not on my forehead and probably had a concussion, but kids were tough back in my day and I shook it off and continued running around the museum like the demon child I was.
I bet if that happened today the kid would be immediately taken to the hospital, the panicky parents would have sued the school, museum, teacher and anyone else who looked at them funny and the museum would have been deemed unsafe and shut down by homeland security.
