I have seen guys take plywood cut to size and bolt it to the bottom of the
tower.

It may be worth thinking about arranging for some king of locking device,
maybe a steel cable & lock, to prevent even the older kids from simply

Use carriage bolts from the outside. They have no heads to speak of and what 
they have is low profile and rounded. The nuts go on the inside so it makes 
it almost impossible to get them out. Any kids with enough perseverence to 
get those out is going to get by other means.

As far as locking one of those longer cables used for locking bikes wrapped 
around near the top of the anti-climb sheets in a manner to pervent it being 
slid up should prevent any one from getting onto the tower without 
destroying the anti climb mechanism any way.
Those cables come in various lengths and should be available long enough to 
go around a 25G.

*Unless* the injured party is a young kid. Then no matter what you do if 
they get buy it you are to blame. I'm not sure where they'd look at the age 
and say you did all you could.
