[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 child) Did this toy injure a bunch of kids or something? It didn't survive the natural selection process of toy brands. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EnmebaraGuesser@piefed.ca [S] 2 points 1 month ago It did survive in a way: Huffy apparently owns the rights to it now and makes a modernized version with a hand brake. It looks like this. By the comments further in the thread, everybody is going, "Had one, suffered lots of injuries, totally worth it though!" So probably a safe bet that many injuries were sustained from these. On the plus side, it doesn't look very easy to flip when you skid it out. permalink fedilink source parent
