I'm a HS football coach and stopped playing with the kids for this very reason. The kids loved it when one of us would strap up with them in camp. We are all too scared to anymore though. My HS coach used to do it all the time. He would run us over but every once in a while you'd get that great hit in on him and it made it all worth it. Definitely would not put on pads like that against junior high kids. Maybe work them over from the oline/dline or something, but this is just asking to get sued.
