How many people have been injured by horseshoes? How many injuries from playing frisbee? I hear bikes are pretty dangerous - should parents who never taught their kids not to ride on the train tracks be allowed to collect tens of millions from Union Pacific?

Anybody want to compare the number of deaths and injuries from jarts with the D&I rate for bikes? For tree climbing? The ultimate demise of Jarts wasn't because the product was inherently dangerous - pretty much everything is - but because lazy, selfish parents steadfastly refuse to supervise and instruct their kids. "Mom! Billy wacked the croquette ball really hard and it hit me in the knee!" "I'm calling my lawyer! They should never be allowed to sell such a dangerous product!" Or "hmm... this toy comes with live rattlesnakes and a chainsaw. Well, since National Toy And Fun Emporium, Inc has 50 billion in annual sales if anything happens I'll get rich, so I think I'll buy this for my 18 month old. That'll keep him quiet while I watch my soap opera."

So the parents felt that the dangers were "obvious" enough to collect a $14 million dollar jackpot, yet they themselves weren't smart enough to recognize the "obvious" dangers?

THEY bought the toy.

THEY apparently never examined it to see if it was dangerous.

THEY obviously knew about the projectile and its dimensions.

THEY allowed their kid to continue playing with the thing.

THEY never taught their kid not to shoot things down his throat.

And they are considered fit parents worthy of instant riches because... ? Any other kids should have been removed from that household immediately.
