How is it we are still alive after owning some of these toys? I'll tell you how, because we had COMMON SENSE back in those days...we experienced life outside instead of through a computer.
Hey, that Thingmaker is really hot...SO DON'T PUT YOUR TONGUE ON IT!
Jarts can land in your head ...SO DON'T STAND AT THAT END BY THE RING!
Things with hard teeth can bite...SO DON'T PUT YOUR FINGER IN IT'S MOUTH!

See kids today are protected from all that nonsense because of well-intentioned parents groups. We learned from watching masters of the craft...the THREE STOOGES. The rule was if the Stooges did it we better not. Same goes for Tom & Jerry.

I agree.

Cartons of THREE STOOGES DVDs and LAWN DART games all around
for today's kids...the message will be crystal clear.

I went camping with the Mini-hammock (#5) for years and slept in it countless times. Amazing I am still alive I guess.

Well.... that's part of it. The other part is companies terrified of bad press and being sued. But yeah; the parents groups have bothered me since I was a kid. So many things I enjoyed got canned 'cos of concerned citizens.

OK, I have to confess that the boys on our street (including me) didn't have a lot of common sence when it came to our jarts. We would take turns flinging them straight up into the sky and run for our lives attempting to dodge the falling "bomb". We luckily never had an injury (Except bumps and scraps fleeing in mass) but our fun game came to a quick stop when my father had to climb up on the top of the house to pull out a jart that had speared the roof.

No injury stories here. My aunt and uncle had a set and we'd always get them out and play. That and Skittle Bowl. Very 70s.
