@@Stella-pg6fx Im afraid, whoever hands those magnetic toys to toddlers should not be allowed to raise kids in first place. On the other hand, going into college, especially young men are prone to to the most stupid stuff.

@@ozzymd1 There's a difference between a driver being stupid and the CAR being clearly at fault. Sammy Davis Jr lost an eye in a new Cadillac. The egg like protrusion in the steering wheel yanked it right out of his head. Took them 45 minutes to find "a colored hospital" (what his white friends said, not an insult then) while he was holding his eye. He was lucky. Those long steering columns also impaled people, too. I'd put "ridiculous tire pressures from bad, bad engineering" up there, too. The 15 passenger Ford van ("Keep it fully loaded at all times and 20 psi only in the BACK tires! Wut...?) and the Corvair were noted for that. There was and is a lot worse. Please read Unsafe at Any Speed by Ralph Nader and Still Unsafe at Any Speed by Brian Chase. This still goes on today.

Which basically means that even if I as a 12 y/o get bucky balls and know that I mustn't swallow it, my 1 y/o brother does not know so. Even if my parents try to explain this to him, he does not listen because "it must be a very cool thing since I can't play with it". And trust me, it's not that easy to notice if a baby has something in mouth. It really takes seconds. So please, don't judge everyome if you don't know.

Not exactly. Kids swallow things so quickly. A parent would have to face to face with their kid 24/7 to make sure they didn't swallow anything they weren't supposed to. Even if they were wose enough not to but these for their children, kids can always find the wrong thing to swallow. Better to place blame on the irresponsible adults putting kids in danger than blame the innocent who have yet to develop the understanding.

When I was in 4th grade we had "survival class" and we were required to bring pocket knives and matches to class. One kid actually had a note sent home to his parents because he forgot his knife. Kids are too sheltered now.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

When I was 8 I was a cub scout. Cub Scout meetings were after school. I lived about 3/4 of a mile from school and our den mother was on the way home. I went every week for about two years. Required was the blue cub scout uniform that included the blue Cub Scout hat, yellow neckerchief, brass neckerchief slide, blue Cub scout uniform shirt with matching pants and Cub Scout belt. Considered part of the uniform was my Cub Scout ring and my Cub Scout pocket knife. It had a wolf on one side and a bear on the other with the Cub Scout insignia on both sides. It had a large blade, small blade, bottle opener/screw driver, cork screw, file and I think that was it. But I also brought my Cub Scout compass and Cub Scout watch since one always wanted to be able to tell the time and one always wanted to know how to find one's way home. The knife had a blade somewhere around 3 inches. The smaller knife was maybe 2 inches. We were expected to have our knives for the meetings and meetings started 30 minutes after school let out so there was no time to go back home and get our knife and come back. Nobody gave it a second thought that there would be 50 armed Cub Scouts attending class every Tuesday at that elementary school. It was expected and accepted. All the teachers and parents knew about it and often we took out our knives in class for various purposes. In the cafeteria I took out my knife to cut up the mystery meat that was usually served on Tuesdays. I needed a sharp blade for that. It was not unusual to see half a dozen Cub Scouts sharpening their blades on the bricks our school was made from. We'd all be lined up dragging our blade back and forth on the bricks that made excellent sharpening stones. You would ALWAYS see little boys with their pocket knives during recess whittling away at some oak branch that fell from the big old oak tree next to the school building, even the ones who weren't Cub Scouts. What I never saw once in five years at that elementary school 1966-1971, was a single student pulling a knife on a fellow student or a teacher, not once. Not a day would go by that you would not see multiple boys and a few girls with a knife in their hands on school property and not one of us ever gave it a second thought and that was in a suburban town in liberal Massachusetts a few miles from where half the Kennedys were born. Today a kid merely needs to draw a crayon drawing of a gun and he is expelled from school, he and his parents are arrested and charged with multiple felonies and the school is shut down for a week while hundreds of councilors are brought in to council the kids and students and parents about the disaster they just prevented. If we ever have to fight World War III we are in DEEP SHIT!!!

@@KrashyKharma Actually proper supervision by responsible parents will do exactly that. As for bombs, my Dad gave me the Gilbert Chemistry set when I was nine and and a few weeks later he taught me how to build bombs using that chemistry set then we mounted those bombs on the remote control airplane he and I built together and we bombed the back yard. There were craters all over the place. My mother was NOT happy that her precious crocuses had been disturbed a month before they were due to bloom. We also made formaldehyde using that kit and used to to preserve zoological specimens we collected at the park. I used it to learn how to make Chlorine bleach and then my Dad and I went out and bought the raw ingredients to make enough for my mother to use in her laundry. Yes we could do those sorts of things in those days and it was a very practical thing to learn how to use as a child. I make my own rubbing alcohol, witch hazel, extracts, cologne, ammonia, bleach, bug killer, rat poison, kerosene and dozens of other home chemicals. I also make my own body wash, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, candle wax all from scratch using the knowledge I obtained from that chemistry set which was far more dangerous that that back yard water rocket you just whined about. If we ever have an apocalypse a la Mad Max or Water World or the Post Man I'm gonna be the wealthiest man on Earth because I'm going to be one of the very rare few who were not raised by pansy ass whiny parents who didn't want to spend time raising their kids right. Hell 90% of kids these days don't know how to boil water without burning their house down. In virtually every case in this video where someone got hurt either because the parents were dumb asses or the kids were not properly supervised or taught how to safely use the things they were given or a combination of the two. You don't hand a 7 year old a cross bow and tell them to go wander in the woods and play. You teach them how to safely use that cross bow without harming anyone including themselves and then you teach them how to hunt for dinner with it. That's what my Dad did. I'm guessing your Dad taught you how to dial your attorney's number and whine to the government about all of life's imperfections, that is assuming you knew your Dad's name.

@@anemone6260 Actually our current model worked well for many centuries until lawyers got involved and stopped the evolutionary process of weeding out the dumbasses from the gene pool. My parents had no problem at all. They supervised us and taught us how to use each "dangerous" toy we got and do so safely. The closest I came to harming anyone with any of the toys I got including more than half the items on this list, was when I built bombs using my Gilbert Chemistry Set and mounted them on my remote control airplane and bombed my sister's Barbie dollhouse.

[@LynxSouth]

I had a Creepy Crawler set. Yes, the liquid plastic reeked to high heaven while it was 'cooking', but no one ever got burned on it. We weren't stupid. We knew not to touch hot metal. We wouldn't have stuck our hands on that gizmo any more than we'd put them in a toaster slot. The metal handle to the mold trays could get hot, so I asked my mother for an old pot holder. I was 9; it wasn't brain surgery. Boys carried pocket knives. My older brother had a wood-burning set. I had a chemistry set. We had little magnets from age 7 if not before (and did NOT eat them). We played lawn darts with our cousins. We were taught how to do things properly. We wanted to, and wanted to be considered grown up. If we misbehaved with something, we were 'too little' to use it, and being too little was worse than death. It was called common sense because we were supposed to develop it. It was in the late 80s that being a perennial child who always broke the (safety) rules seemed to become acceptable. Whether you had the money to get something was the determining factor, not whether you were responsible enough to use it correctly. Thirty years on, and we're seeing the societal effects of materially spoiled people being protected from learning the consequences of their actions, and parents not doing their job. Stupidity is supposed to hurt.

At least I have the relief that they will burn in Hell. I don't care if you atheist or not, I still am glad that I believe this will happen to them. I wish they would have had more punishment in their mortal existence. Oh well.

Trust Me :) I Have a Lab Coat But still, just cause there's a name or a term for it doesn't make it right though

[@TheZephyrsWind]

I agree, Random. I was watching this and then heard they were... fined, and I said out loud "Seriously? A child could have DIED. They needed to be sent to prison." If you willingly did something that could have possibly killed a child and you knew it could, you'd be sent to prison, right? So irritating how when a company does this, they get fined and that's it. No amount of money can replace a life.

Clackers should have been on this list with the amount of damage these solid plastic balls did to kids hands and fingers.

[@thecraftycyborg9024]

I broke my hip and required major reconstructive surgeries at the age of 17.... by falling down a single stair. Not a flight of stairs, one step. I was on my way down the stairs, slipped, fell, landed with my feet under my butt and my knees hitting the floor and the top of my femur (thigh bone) shattered off. The incident led to me developing an extremely painful neurological disease that is triggered by trauma. So yeah, you can get hurt by anything and everything. People need to exercise some realistic thought and kids should be supervised when playing with certain toys. End of story. We've removed all thought and imagination from childhood and it saddens me deeply.

Hiya i was just wondering which condition you have without being noisy just i have 1 that is brought on by trauma to the body

[@CrAzYpOtHeAd420time]

Stairs are kids toys now? Christ, the strawman in here is real.

[@Fnordathoth]

@@CrAzYpOtHeAd420time No stairs are not toys, Cassie C was pointing out that injuries can happen anywhere no matter what you are doing and that all anyone can do is exercise a little common sense to try to mitigate injury as much as possible understanding that sometimes injury is just unavoidable. Also, the logical fallacy to which Cassie is seemingly guilty isn't a strawman it's false equivalency on it's face, but that accusation falls flat when one realizes that Cassie isn't saying injury on stairs is the same as injury with toys because the equivalence actually being made is in the fact that injury can happen no matter what you are doing.

Being an old man, I remember a set of hard plastic rockets (from the '50s) that were pumped up with a bicycle pump and then shot wonderfully high into the air from their launch pad. I don't think you could anticipate when they'd take off; it would occur when the pressure got to the correct level.

[@dawnslater1065]

I had them too!

[@creakycracker]

Yeah, and if you ran a hose from the hot water heater they went even higher! Loved those.

[@KenyoMurabu]

What about those Build Yourself A Rocket Kit things... A Rocket you build yourself, & then press a button to make them then shoot off like a powerful Firework, & pretty high... Unless you had those premium good ones, you probably had no idea what direction they'd take off in, & even if they would explode or not, oO

I still have my dads toys from the 40s including a metal tank that shoots sparks out of the barrel when you move it and a miniature wood set that came with a tiny table saw and wood burner...no to mention his bb gun, slingshot, and pocket knives.

Forgive my ignorance, but why is gelled corn syrup dangerous?

[@joejoerobinson8724]

HalflingRogue 7 I was wondering the same thing I’m going to Google it and I’ll get back to you but I’ve been busy laughing at the rest of these comments

[@TURPEG]

Because It is

[@stans5270]

Maybe when you eat enough of it you can get diabetes? Most of this list is a crock.

[@22steve5150]

There is absolutely nothing dangerous about it. I couldn't even find records of complaints about the toy, and the only issue with gelled corn syrup is that like any other syrup, if it was to leak out it will make a sticky mess. And they still make Stretch Armstrong, they make them exactly the way they were made when they came out in 1976.

[@schautamatic]

Because when that corn syrup got all over the room your sweet mumsy just spent all day cleaning, tempers flared and that was dangerous to young hineys, no matter how “Charmin clean” they were. 😄

[@duellcollins7989]

These were some of my favorite toys too. But, you always got those idiots that have to ruin it for everyone else.

[@Brimstone-Gaming]

this list is inaccurate,,,,,,,,, #1 should have been LAWN DARTS. that toy in 1 year caused over 10000 injuries and over 100 deaths because kids were too stupid to NOT try and catch them

[@samlabo1688]

Yeah. Clackers were bad too

[@izzy1773]

I know a man that one of his sons threw the lawn dart over the fence quite by accident and it hit his sister, this man's only daughter, in the head and it imbedded in her brain. She died. She was 10 years old. The man never recovered, the mother lay in bed all day, and the son....he just drifted away. The other two sons existed only. TOYS can be very DANGEROUS.

[@magna1178]

Where did you get your data. This is false .

Well I never blew up anything with mine. But my friend and I made one Hell of a stink bomb with his. His mother had to open all the windows in their two story house even though we made it in the basement. Then she made us strip and take a bath while she washed our clothes. We sat there in the bedroom wrapped in towels until our clothes were dry . Then she called my mother and sent me home. Bummer.

[@robtheanimator1356]

There is a Wikipedia article which states that the Gilbert company, besides producing the chemistry sets and glass-blowing kits, also produced an "atomic energy lab" with actual samples of uranium and radium, complete with a coupon for ordering replacement uranium and radium through the mail.

At 8 I had a jewellery kit that I really loved. Sadly my then 4-year-old brother got into it and somehow got a bead stuck in a nostril. Mom got it to pop out, and warned me to always keep the kit high up in my closet when not using it. This ended well, and we still laugh about it today, but young kids getting into older siblings' toys and such could be very dangerous.
