Hey , what's the most dangerous toy you owned as a kid?

Most dangerous toy I owned? Probably either the Jarts (lawn darts), or Moon Shoes. The chemistry set and gas powered pogo stick weren't really safe either. Come to think of it, were our parents TRYING to kill us? 🤔

Jacks are basically caltrops, bb guns are actual weapons, and let's not forget about board games like Crossfire...
😰

Oh, my dad loved dangerous toys. We had BB guns, chemistry sets, go carts, zip lines, water slides, Creepy Crawlers, wire flowers you dipped in molten film...

@Cosmichomicide @Heucuva8

- Hahaha! I got that EXACT set for
Christmas in like 1965!!!

🕷 🌲 🦇

I had that baby fired up
& making creepy crawlers before 0700 hrs!!! The smell pretty much
got everyone else out of bed!!

@Studio_M_ @Cosmichomicide @Heucuva8 Loved making Creepy Crawlers! Most dangerous toy for me were those Click-Clacks - two heavy hard plastic balls on cords that you waved around. I was black & blue everywhere!

@Sheree @Studio_M_ @Cosmichomicide @Heucuva8 those Clackers were a menace to anyone around you too! 😵

@NorCalCherylLyn @Studio_M_ @Cosmichomicide @Heucuva8 So true! I wish I had a set now in case I have to ward off an intruder! Darn it, now I want to develop a Clackers-based self-defense course. "Don't move. I have Clackers and I'm not afraid to use 'em!"

@Sheree @Studio_M_ @Cosmichomicide @Heucuva8 lol…that would work on me! I wouldn’t mess with anyone armed with those weapons!
