Is this the most dangerous playground in the world? Workmen accidentally create 'slide of doom'

Bungling workmen accidentally created the world's most dangerous playground - after digging this massive hole at the bottom of a slide.

A team of construction workers excavated the cavern to get to a burst sewer pipe beneath the children's play area.

But they failed to properly rope-off the site, meaning children can still climb up the steps and slide directly into the 10ft-deep hole.

The playground, outside a block of flats in the city of Tolyatti, Central Russia, is still open to the public despite containing the potentially deadly drop.

Local nightclub promoter Katrina Savenkova, 23, said: "This is crazy - why do they do this?

"There is nothing to stop any child from climbing up the steps and then sliding into the hole - they could die.

"It is a busy play area, I hope they fix it soon."
