Attractive nuisances fall into two classes: First
Where the injury
from some dangerous element a part of, or inseparably connected with, the alluring thing or device, as in the turn-table cases.
Second
Where the attractive device or thing
so located or situated that in yielding to its allurement the child, without such intervention of another element as breaks the relation or cause and effect, is brought directly in contact with danger from some independent source which occasions the injury.
