My friend had a set of these and one day in 1981 he almost got a Jart in the head after laying on the ground and having me throw one in the air. Man that was funny as Heck as he rolled out of the way just in the nick of time. Laughed for about 10 minutes, at first he didn't think it was funny but then started laughing after realizing how close to serious injury he was too. I am sure someone has one of these laying around in the garage or attic. Dangerous toy and only played with it once.

I had a set also 1979 I was 15. What can I say about this toy??? As Tony the Tiger would say"There Great". Just add some adults and alchol and you had a deadly mix of harm and mishap. On a fall night in 1979 I watched my Aunt Jean with 5 or more cocktails in here get a Jart to the arm,thrown from my mom. 5 hours later we left the emergncy room. Toooo Much fun! And to this day I belive I am the only one to do this!! We use to ride our mini bikes and have a good old mid-evial joust with our jarts. I still have scars from the day I took a Jart to the leg and crashed my Rupp Mini bike and when it was all done I limped away with a 2nd degree burn from the red hot muffler. Yes the toys from the 70's were too cool. Kidds today are wimps with all the xbox crap.....Get out side and "Man Up" Tim
