Jarts

You could remember them as Lawn Darts or simply Jarts, but most people remember them as little javelins of doom and the reason your uncle still walks with that strange limp. For obvious reasons, lawn darts were outlawed in 1988. While the game could be entertaining—you'd stand back from a target on your lawn and throw darts at it from afar—it was also quite dangerous.

People who had these items pierced through their brains and other areas of their body certainly wished they hadn't been impaled in the first place. Over the course of eight years, 6,100 people were sent to the hospital after playing these games, the majority of whom were children. Three people have died as a result of this lethal mix of horseshoes and darts.
