I remember Lawn Darts from when I was a kid. They were not much of a problem until someone got frisky with them and launched one as high as they could go. It always happened. Had one slice open the neighbor kids noggin one summer day. That was the last we saw of those things. They were taken off the market at about the same time. Even I think that was a good thing though.
Like Charles, I remember playing chicken a couple of times with a bow and arrow. Shoot it straight up in the air and see who could stand still the longest. Even us junior rocket scientists figured out that it was a real bad idea - right at about the same time that someone's Mom explained it to us - at about 100 db!
Oh, and the firecrackers in the pants, a "friend" stuffed a string of "ladyfinger" (those real small red firecrackers) down my pants. They left a mark! 'Course the other kids had to go home to change after peeing themselves from laughing so hard.
