'School authorities in Australia have banned children from doing cartwheels in the playground to protect them from injury.
Belgian Gardens State School in Townsville, Queensland, has also outlawed handstands, somersaults and all "unsupervised gymnastic activities". Parents have complained that their children have been punished for doing cartwheels and are now bored with nothing to do at playtime.
Education minister Rod Welford has urged the school to think again saying "we are wrapping our children in cotton wool". '
