    I forget the name, maybe it was called slip and slide? Water Park at home!

    Dangerous if you don’t follow the instructions and easy to get fractures. Like the kids across the street who borrowed it, broke their wrist, and tried to sue us. I’m pretty sure it was ”yeah borrowers parents needed to supervise them".

      When we were kids we went on a vacation with our folks through the hills on the east coast (US). There were some cowboy and Indian type souvenir shops. Well we both (brother and I) picked bow and arrows for souvenirs. The arrows were target practice type arrows and we started ahooting them straight up and dodging them as they came down. Pretty sure we could have died had one actually hit us.
