Looking for your stories. Have you ever been injured by a toy? When I was a kid, my favourite toy I think I ever had as a kid was the Evil-Knievel stunt cycle. You probably remember these Patsy. I've been a child of the 80s like me, where it's like a toy evil- evil, and you could bend him and sit him on his legendary motorbike,

and then you revved up the bike,

0:25.1

and off you would go,

1:16.9

especially for kids who had any kind of physical element. It was like Lord of the Flies.

1:22.9
