Rarely has authority been so blatantly defied.

What's the point of having a big noodle if you cannot use it?

Respect for authority begins at home.

Good job kids- resist the nanny state!

Respect for authority requires authority that is worth respecting. This sign is just fussy lawyering, cover-your-ass paranoia.

The sign should say "CLIMB AT YOUR OWN RISK." In other words, take responsibility for your own actions. If you fall and break your arm on a noodle, that's your fault. If the noodle breaks from its mount, falls over, and crushes you -- that's the noodle exhibitor's fault. Which does require that the noodle be firmly mounted. So be advised -- firmly mount your giant noodles.

Perhaps none of them can read?

"Climbing the big noodle" sounds sort of like ... how can I say it ... um ... err ... forget it.
