What minimum angle should be formed by two accessible adjacent parts on playground equipment?

45 degrees
55 degrees
65 degrees
75 degrees

The correct answer is: 55 degrees

Design safety standards recommend that the angle between two accessible adjacent parts on playground equipment should be at least 55 degrees. This provides a wide enough opening for children to easily pass through and ensures that no body parts can get stuck in between the two parts. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because angles smaller than 55 degrees would create a narrower opening which can be potentially hazardous for children. Additionally, options A and C are both acute angles, which would create sharp edges that can cause injuries. Option D, on the other hand, is an obtuse angle and would create a larger opening which is not as safe for use by young children. Ultimately, choice B offers the most appropriate and safe angle for two accessible adjacent parts on playground equipment.
