  Played w/ those lawn darts ( Jarts ) all the time growing up, especially during camping trips w/ the family & my cousins & their famlies......UNTIL....... us kids decided to play Jart dodge-em!  My cousin & I were tossing them to our younger siblings across a shallow dry creek bed......WHEN.... my younger brother didn't get out of the way fast enough.....AND IT LODGED IN HIS SIDE, under his arm!!   ::)   I was yelling for him to stop, so I could remove it....but NO....he ran right to our parents, w/ the jart still hanging from his side.

 Didn't get to play w/ those jarts for a long, long time.....  Yes, he still has a scar about the size of a dime from it.... 44 yrs. later ;D

Where the hell were you putting the quart bottles Jim? And how did you get an injury to your eye and your butt at the same time? I think we're going to need a picture of you before we can continue this discussion....

I laugh in your general direction at your gunpowder.  We used HCL, aluminum foil and glass quart bottles.  That lasted until I got a glass shard in the corner of my eye and second degree acid burns on my butt.

The bicycle still gets my vote for causing the most childhood injuries.  Every one I had did its best to try to kill me.

So of course, the next logical step was to move up to heavier, faster, motorized 2 wheelers!   :stirpot:

Carried the acid in my back pocket...it leaked.  The glass shard penetrated our bunker...made out of garbage cans.

Jr. High science club after school.

Access to the chemical storage area.  Elements are obtained, gunpowder is mixed.

A bottle is exploded using an electrical cord to detonate it.



It all fun and games until someone gets hurt . . . . .

Then it gets hilarious.

What mailbox?

The most dangerous thing I played with as a kid was Magicians Flash Powder. All I can say is OMG! When you put a bunch of this in a 16 oz. soda bottle through a long speed wick in it, and then wrap it up with a half inch of duct tape, you have something wild. I placed the first one of these at the base of a 6-7' thick tree. When we lit it we ran fast. It took that tree down like it was nothing. It was dark out, the blast was so bright (like a flash from a camera) I can still see it like it happened yesterday. If we looked at it, we'd probably all be blind. Oh memories! The things you could buy from a liquidator. There were a couple more experiments, but this is all I'll say.

B.B. gun wars were the best! With the occasional Wrist-Rocket thrown into the mix.
Here is the crime scene. We had so much fun in these woods.
