Try a Tinker Toy Stick in the Eye.
Happened to Me in Kindergarten or 1st Grade I don’t remember which. Another Kid was trying to pull the Stick out of a Round Hub when I turned around and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Just as I came around the Stick came out of the Hub and I got the other end in the Left Eye !!! I was lucky enough to not get blinded but man-o-man did it ever HURT !!! That Eye 👁 has been a little bit fuzzy vision since then.
Now to the subject of stepping on stuff. One of the Kids across the street from us was running around barefoot and stepped on a toy truck axel that had 1 wheel still on it and was laying on the wheel with the axel shaft pointing up. He had it STUCK IN THE HEEL BONE !!! I tried to pull it out but just pulled the one wheel off the axel. We handed Him off to the Adults for a trip to the E.R. while the other Adults had the rest of us Kids pick up everything in the yards of All of Our yards and put in the trashcans to be sorted out by the Parents into Keep or Trash piles and the “Keeps” were put in Toy Bins and the Trashes went out the next Trash day, no protest, complaints or salvaging just out in the Trash.
Even through all those years nobody was killed of maimed... We played till Dinner Call or the Street Lights came on.
No Helmets, Gloves, Goggles, Knee, Elbow, Arm or Shin Pads and no Torso protection devices or Steel Soled Shoes or Boots.
If one was the owner of a Bicycle we had Playing Cards held on with Laundry Pins flap on the spokes for the “engine”. Today that would make Us a drug selling Biker Gang.
AND WE ALL LIVED THROUGH IT !!!👍🤪
