The Most Dangerous Toys Of All Time

Remember a few.
I remember a toy called a tip n rock that I had as a kid. It was a plastic chair that was rounded on the bottom. There was nothing to stop you from flipping over backwards. Brother and I were always yanking on the backs of each others chairs to flip the other person over. It took about 2 seconds to realize that you had to roll your head forward otherwise you would get the back of it smacked on the floor.I still have it hanging up in the garage.
Dangerous??..Probably. But fun as hell.

Vac-U-Form
by Mattel
http://www.spookshows.com/toys/vacuform/vacuform.htm
Vac-U-Form enabled you to melt a sheet of styrene plastic and quickly make a mold of any item. This toy is not only desired by collectors, but by model makers to make molds of small parts. The original styrene sheets, called "Material Paks" are difficult to find these days.
The Vac-U-Form heating plate was also used for Mattel's Creepy Crawlers and other Thingmaker molds.
A type of Vac-U-Form called Vac-U-Former has recently been manufactured by ToyMax, using safe light bulbs for the heat instead of the sizzling hot 110 volt hotplate of the original machines. Why bother?!?

My Parents Gave us some leaf Bags, they were real Fun.....Brother Billy didn't understand how it worked.
My sister and I had Jarts, and Creepy Crawlers! (We've seen a doctor for both.....)
Jesus Christ! Millions of these fuking things get sold, and a dozen dopes drop off the map, so we have a recall on the stuff. The way I see it........these mooks would have been hit by a bus sooner or later anyway!
Did we burn ourselves on the "hot plate"? You bet yer ass we did! Kinda teaches you a valuable lesson about fukcin' around with shit like that! (Take it seriously!)
To this day, I've never burnt myself on a real stove or oven!
Thank you Mattel!

Didn't check the whole list out but have a couple of my own.....
Ant farms
What moron would want there kids to have an ant farm in the house? (sorry to anybody here that has done this)
Models
In absolute terror, I've glued my fingers together as a child more than once putting some space ship or race car together. If I wasn't glueing body parts I was cutting into fingers with those scalpel like knives you used to cut the various billion pieces out of the molds.
Metal wood burning tools (pen like or screwdriver like)
Got this item one year and would duck down into the basement and burn my name into everything I owned or didn't own while cooking my own flesh multiple times along the way.
Skateboards or skates
I've killed my knees for life on these things and f'd up all my joints including cashing in my tailbone on concrete.
Pogo sticks
(see skateboards above)
Silly Putty
This was sent by the commies to ruin our society and our rugs

How about those Daniel Boone musket type rifles. Almost like the real thing...
Oh - Yea, when I was about 6 or 7, one of my friends CRACKED me on my scull with the Fk'n thing. SUMA BITCH!

Wow, i used to have one when I was a kid. We didn't give a damn what we made but sure loved sniffing that melting plastic.
Ah.. the memories.
I had one of those pop out derringers about 45 years ago. Thing was great but never worked right. I wonder if I can find it? Wonder if it's worth anything?
got my nephews these for christmas last year, who were 7 and 11 at the time. 2 sets of cap guns and rolls of caps. they though they were cool.
my sister in law asked me to take them back.
wtf??:shrug:
wasn't like i was giving them wrist rockets or anything!
had the creepy crawlers, jarts and those click clacks. long forgotten until this post, especially the creepy crawlers. also had one of those wood burning kits.
you weren't cool with the click clacks unless you could triple clack them.
still have all my fingers and toes and eyes!

I always had problems with seesaws. I was actually held back in pre-K because of those stupid things. The one for my day care was indoors I couldn't help but to lean way back when going up and down. Problem was all the concussions from the polished cement floor. Apparently the head master of pre-K thought I might be a bit retarded so I got held back. The next year I wore a helmet and excelled eventually being promoted straight to first grade. Never went to Kindergarten any way.
Great thread. I can smell the creepy crawlers cooking in the basement. Next to the pivot pool, electric football and the Trouble pop-o-matic.
Most dangerous toy I remember was the water rocket. It was about 5 inches long, red and white. You filled it with water and snapped it onto a pumping device. You pump air into it until your elbow gives out. Aim straight up (not at your sister) and pull the latch and that thing was a dot against the sky. We used to attack the water tower down the street.

vanbasten, guns are not toys, and there should be no toy guns. All guns should be always treated as if they are loaded and deadly. Very dangerous for kids to have toy guns and not be taught about gun safety and how guns really work.
