a lot of people were injured. I know i had a few bruises. they were eventually banned do to people getting hurt.
I was thinking of designing and printing a set.
do you think the 3d printed ones would work or would they shatter.

Also if you want the real thing you can still buy them on Ebay as a vintage toy of course.
