We had some lawn darts when I was a kid. We had a huge yard, so one day I was entertaining myself by trying to throw the lawn darts as high as I could. I threw one up, and lost track of it, so I layed on the ground and covered my head with my arms (in retrospect, that wouldn't have helped). The dart landed in the small triangle between my arm and my neck. Terrifying to think about. I'm glad they're banned!
- ChristianGeek 5y agoNever got hold of lawn darts but my teenage brain did come up with the similarly brilliant idea of shooting an arrow straight up in the air while laying on the ground and seeing how close to me I could get it to land. That game ended abruptly one day when the wind caught one, causing it to land a few inches away from a sunbathing neighbor.
