Most Dangerous Backyard Toy

[ChipsAhoya]

On the way to work today, I saw a kid hosing down a slip 'n' slide setup down a pretty steep hill, and the splashdown pool was about 5 feet from the sidewalk. I wonder if her head went BUSTO?

I gotta go with a swing set. Ive seen more kids break arms and other body parts than any other outdoor activity set.

I voted slip-n-slide, based on the fact that I hit my dog with a lawn dart accidentally once and she didn't even bleed.

I voted slip n slide, but now I want to change my vote to Other: Trampoline.

yeah i like the trampoline vote as long as it doesnt have one of those weird looking fence things to keep you in.

All the trampolines in my neighborhood have those, now... I thought about including trampoline as a vote but then decided to go w/ other...

Stone Phillips: Good evening. The trampoline... children's play toy or an unbelievably vicious backyard killer? Here's Melissa Tompkin.

Does anyone else still have lawn darts? My set was like the only thing my grandma didn't throw away out of all my dad's old stuff.

Definitely the bubble-blowing lawnmower.

This skit is exactly what I was thinking of when I opened the thread.

I just got this for my 7 year old son. This is pretty damned dangerous and pretty damned cool, too.



FWIW, he's an incredibly accurate shooter, even before getting this one.
