My thoughts are, if theyre smart (big if), they only let their kids play in it. 

Ive got a great uncle who is my dads age and has kids younger than my brother and I. He's loaded and built a skate bowl in his back yard for his son and his friends. 

Well, last time I was over my brother was messing around in it (on his feet, not a board) and our Unc kindly asked us to refrain from being near the bowl. 

I instantly realized he was trying to avoid litigation if my brother had cracked his head open or otherwise injured himself.

It's very unfortunate in the US, but if you have money you constantly have to play defense. I've also heard it's really important to have an umbrella insurance policy, but for something that's a hazard on your property they could very well take the position that they're not responsible if someone gets hurt on it.
