The Fire Footbag: Most dangerous toy ever?
Some toys are so obviously dangerous, that you've got to wonder what they were thinking. Following Lawn Darts and the 1950s Atomic Energy Lab toy that included actual radioactive Uranium ores, the Fire Footbag seems so clearly dangerous, that you'd better move fast if you want one before the rest of the world follows Australia's lead and pulls them off the shelves.
The Fire Footbag is essentially a Hacky Sack style footbag made from flameproof Kevlar fibers, that you soak in kerosene, and set on fire before kicking it around. Of course kicking around kerosene soaked flaming balls can have the unexpected side effect of setting other things on fire, including feet, clothing, cars, and houses, so if I were one of those ambulance chasing lawyers, I'd be heading to the toy store so I could slip my business card into every box.
The Fire Footbag is available now, if you hurry, for $24.99

These people must have been smoking pot, when they came up with this idea. Neither did shop buyers think hard when these thing made their way to the shelves. Some things just make me wonder how stupid and shortsighted may people be....

They should have named it "Molotov's Hacky Sack" although I think Hacky Sack is trademarked by Wham-O. In that case they could have just called it "Molotov's Sack."

On the other hand, acetone-soaked (and lit-on-fire) tennis balls are fairly safe, if you're just kicking them around; they might singe hairs if you're not careful, but I've never had a problem, even while wearing sandals.
