lawn darts
I’m sure I played with plenty of toys basted in lead paint.
Would have to agree with lawn darts/jarts
Pellet Gun (like a BB gun but it used lead pellets as ammo)
Airsoft/BB gun
1950s die-cast toy cars, with genuine flaking lead paint
sword… almost gutted myself…
BB gun using lead pellets and over pumped
Definitely a BB Gun.
Nerf gun.
I would have to say that the most dangerous toy I have seen is the miniature motorcycle for kids. Some can go up to 40mph and I’m sure some kid has been run over by getting on to a busy street.
My chemistry set.
Home made bombs for fishing when I was in Jr High
The most dangerous toy I ever owned was a chemistry set. I opened the webbing between my fingers breaking a glass tube. It didn’t hurt. I looked inside my hand and it was kind of neat. I remember walking to the kitchen and telling my mom that I think I needed to go to the hospital and I thought the flow of blood running down my arm and dripping off my elbow was pretty cool looking.
Cornballer
A pogo stick. I was 5 years old when a relative gave it to me, but luckily I never broke a limb with it, hehe
A modded Nerf crossbow with custom made tack darts. Dangerous as heck.
Darts
“Bag-O-Glass” comes to mind from SNL.
When I was in middle school back in the ’60s my pal Charlie concocted the “U-Plug”. It was a A/C power ground adapter that he stuck a wire into the back across the terminals, bridging the two “hot” terminals to create a short circuit. Needless to say, Charlie went to work on the school’s A/C wall sockets and popped every breaker. He loved his new toy and used it every day for at least a year.
BTW, did you know that the fastest way to cook a hotdog is to take two wires, insert one end of each wire into opposite ends of the hotdog, then plug the other ends of each wire into a A/C wall socket. Your hotdog will be cooked in a matter of seconds. Enjoy and don’t forget the mustard.
Pellet gun.
train set that had a steaming engine
the chemicals in that were toxic >_<
It was actually a small crossbow with tiny arrows, scary.
Darts, definitely darts.
Jarts (lawn darts). They eventually got banned because throwing a pointed dart up in the air towards the other person could potentially cause an accident. Then again if you had any safety sense you could always just move out of the way before someone threw…
Boomerang – I couldn’t really get it to come back to well (it was heavy plastic) but I did manage to – upon throwing – wedge it into a tree, and a window…
Skip-it.
Bowling ball
I agree with the bb gun/pellet gun.
Mines not so much a toy you can get in a store, but a custom Go-Cart built by my dad at the time. It was made out of some old plywood, particleboard, and 2×4’s, with rope to steer.
On many occasions the steering would lock up, and you’d go crashing into peoples lawns. Luckily we never hit anyones car, but we did get banged up a bit. That said, it was all great fun.
trampolines
Frisbee. Nuff said.
Bow and Arrow
Definitely a motorized mini bike…
Model Rockets. Set a field on fire once.
Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots
Almost lost my eye falling on them while sleep walking as a kid. Huge gash above my eye. Makes for a good story. How did you get that huge scar? I was in the ring with two boxers. haha
Girl (with drug habit that I didn’t know)
I think the head trauma I received from my boomerang would make it a proven hazard. I never had any luck getting it to return, so my friend and I were throwing it to one another. These things are used to kill kangaroos, so we tossed it and let it fall nearby before retrieving it and repeating. One time, I was downfield and my friend threw it. I stepped aside and it curved toward me! I stepped back and down a hill and the next thing I know, I’m seeing everything go black. My head was gashed wide open.
I used to have a ghost accessory for my Ghostbusters Action Figs that was more reminiscent of a mousetrap. This creatures mouth would open up and lock. An unsuspecting Ghostbuster would walk along, step on its tongue (for God knows why) and the creatures jaws would snap shut at lightning speed. Many a time it was not a Ghostbusters foot, but my fingers that triggered the jaws to snap shut. This would send me into a howl of pain. My mother would usually respond to my howl and a quick excuse was made as to why I cried out in pain (I didn’t want to loose this deadly toy). Then I would set it up again and touch the tongue with the uninjured fingers of my other hand.
old… 30+ years, sheet-metal civil war fort… have the scars to prove it.
marbles (I ate a couple of them on accident)
commercial: lawn darts
personal: home made flash pods for filming back in highschool
I must agree with the original lawn darts.
Lawn Darts
Far and away lawn darts. Used to throw them straight up into trees. Damn I was dumb.
BB gun
tickle me elmo
fireworks count?
A remington lil tyke shotput
Model rockets.
This is kind of sad, but I used to watch too many scary movies as a kid, and after I saw chucky (at like 8) and then that movie where all the dolls were moving (can’t remember the name), I was frightened of my own dolls. I locked them in my closet.
