Another fun fact about lawn darts:

Starting in the late twentieth century, the safety of metal-tipped lawn darts was called into question in several countries. After thousands of injuries and at least three children's deaths were attributed to lawn darts, the sharp-pointed darts were banned for sale in the United States and Canada.

Over in the UK in the 80s, as kids, we played lawn darts and not once did we manage to injure ourselves.

Not once have I, nor any family member, died in a car accident.
