Aw, come on! Anybody can be hurt with anything, anytime. It's a matter of natural selection and some of these toys just helped that along faster. There's a reason why some people get hurt while thousands or millions more don't with the same item. Think of items like these as well designed tests to weed out people who probably shouldn't reproduce to begin with.

We had lawn darts when I was a kid and we took a lot of risks but we never threw them near anyone. I also had a biology set with a real scalpel, a chemistry set with real chemicals, and the Thingmaster.

I'm sorry about the kids who got hurt or worse. It'd be cool to still have the lawn darts. Maybe they could treat them like guns and require a certain age along with a background check. "Are you on record as having done any really stupid and dangerous things?" Of course, there's always eBay.
