1. Jarts
via Central Standard Film Festival
Lawn darts are bound to top almost any “most dangerous toys” list, and for good reason. Since it’s always a good idea for groups of rowdy kids to play with sharp objects, the folks behind Jarts thought it would be even better to create giant arrow-like darts that are hurled across the yard like a javelin. It’s not as if that could kill anyone or anything, except it did multiple times. Lawn darts had been banned for years because they’d already injured many children, but because America has a short memory span, certain distributors were able to challenge the ban in court, and soon Jarts were legal again… as long as they weren’t marketed as toys. Sure, because that makes a huge difference to adolescent boys, drunk fraternity brothers or beer-drinking dads. When a 7-year-old girl was killed when a casually-tossed lawn dart soared too far, her father began a crusade to have the ban on Jarts reinstated. In the eight years before the ban was reinstated in 1988, 6,100 emergency-room visits resulted from lawn darts, half of the injuries belonged to children 10 and younger, including one coma and three deaths. So if you remember having a blast launching Jarts around the yard, you’re lucky it didn’t kill you.
