We had cap guns, Lawn Darts, firecrackers, shrinky dinks, etc.

My only injury came from cutting my hand on a metal toy dish pan from a housekeeping set. I had to get stitches. Scarred for life....lol!

I think the most dangerous part of toys today is getting the sob's out of the packaging.

They shrink wrap, seal in plastic, twist tie and do everything but rivet them into the packaging

I've gotten more than one cut on Christmas morning helping the grandkids get to the toy

I shocked myself on my EZBake oven. I never went near it again.

I remember my dad (after many beers) throwing whole strings of Black Cat firecrackers into the BBQ.

We hammered rolls of caps on the sidewalk and threw firecrackers in the halls at school on weekends to hear the report BRANG!!!!!!
