Those ones work better than the new version with the ball on the end. The new ones bounce, but the old ones just stuck where they landed. My late uncle had a set and we played in our yard a few times when I was young. It wasn't a big deal, just keep your eye on the game.

Coincidence, or cause?

Coincidence. He was epileptic, taken off medicine he was on his whole life way too fast, then had one hell of a relapse.

Only one of the neighbors got hit by a dart is was safe compared to Roman candles and lawn mowers.

My Dad told me some stories about having wars with Roman candles. Sounds really dangerous, but I bet it was fun as hell.

I never played lawn darts, but I did used to just shoot arrows straight up into the air for some stupid fucking reason when I was 12 or so. I'll still alive and unwounded

Hey, me too! Are you my brother?

My brothers never touched my bows, so I doubt it.

Unless you snuck into my room at night to dry fire my composite, then maybe we're related.

No one killed? I'm not sure about that.
I remember many tales of cripplings and worse from lawn-darts.

But that's why people were more capable in past.
We thinned the herd. Embraced Darwin.

We were quicker to blame morons than the darts. Though we did eventually ban them.

No one killed? I'm not sure about that.

I worded it poorly, I meant no one among your friends specifically. Also implying that if you had friends that did get killed, they were retarded.

I don't write jokes for a living.

Playing lawndarts at Action Park would have been the greatest childhood activity one could ever partake in.

I used to like to fire arrows straight up in the air and see how close to me they would land. I remember doing it a few times at dusk. I don't think i was a very smart kid.
