The Most Dangerous Toys Of All Time

Lawn Darts

The creators of lawn darts must have launched the toy as a sick joke intended to thin out the gene pool. Lawn Darts, also called Javelin Darts or Jarts, were essentially a giant version of regular darts. These massive, sharp missiles measured 12 inches (30 cm) in length and had a weighted needle at one end designed to plunge into the ground at high speed. Naturally, this meant that any other organic matter in the Darts’ path - say, like a human head - could also be easily impaled. After several deaths and horrific injuries, the toys were banned.
