With green mats about 1" thick placed under the ropes incase you got 20 feet up and fell so you didn't hurt yourself.
How about the coconut mats - ouch I got the slipper for tossing two in the corner for taking a nice green mat ....

Hated the rope, so sometimes when the teacher glanced my way I'd be standing holding the rope to make it appear I was about to go up it like a monkey.
The wooden horse - back in the 1960s why were gym teachers sadist ?-
The worse of the two teachers did not just want me to leap over the wooden horse he put himself on the other side of it bent down making the jump longer - I was a big lad - I asked him politely to move as the was no way I could clear the wooden horse & him - He replied nasty get on with it the was if I remember like a wooden springboard before the horse & my best mate whispered just have a go -
I landed right in the middle of his bent back & flattened him all the class cheered & burst out laughing - he then attacked me kicking mee in the stomach twice & then when I got up he chinned me with a massive punch to the floor - the best fighter my mate an amateur boxer decked him & other kids booted him like hell in his face & stomach - we left him there groaning & we got change quick & ran to the next class - he never picked on us again .....
I could swin on one - never climb up one
Tying knots in the ends and swinging on them - instant reprimand by P.E teacher

About the only thing I enjoyed at school along with football,gardening,metalwork and woodwork,basically anything that didn’t involve a pen and paper.
Anything related to school gyms in the 70's always reminds me of this

Speaking of pervert gym teachers. When I was around 13, after football practice the gym teacher noticed that I wasn't wearing my football socks, I had forgotten them and wore my regular school socks instead. When I headed to the showers, he said "I will see you later.
So after my shower, I was naked, he comes into the room, calls me over and slippers me, naked in front of all the other kids. Different times. I never told my parents by the way
