For the past few months, a strangely fascinating trend has been growing popular.
"Dangerous fidget toys" are exactly what you think.
Normal fidget spinner toys are modified to be dangerous.
Many of these toys can even cause injury if misused.
While some of the mods look like medieval, hand crafted weapons.
Others are as simple razorblades glued into place.
Here are the 15 most dangerous fidget spinner toys, so far.
It should go without saying that you shouldn't try this at home.
15.
Spinner Vs. Finger This video takes a similar route as some others,
but this is one of few cases where someone was actually hurt on camera as a result of
playing with the dangerously made spinners.
Scrubzah uploaded this video on April 14th.
He uses hot glue and tape to construct two spinners.
One which has wide razor blades on each end, and another which appears to have full length
box cutter blades in place.
After the weapons are constructed, he removes the finger pads to attach them to the end
of a screwdriver.
This is done so that the spinners won't cut the inside of his hand.
Especially since the full-length blade spinner is very long.
Scrubzah explains that he doesn't have an air compressor so he bought "compressed
air" in the form of spray bottles, often used for dusting electronics.
After several moments of trial and error and simply having a good time with the fatal trinkets,
he decides to get the spinner going and then he sticks his finger in the rotating blades.
He immediately drops the spinner, screams and holds his finger.
Another great example of how painful these Knicks can be.
14.
Fidget Spinner featuring Matches This is a spinner vlog made by Stephen Sharer
and his right hand man, Carter.
This video was posted April 12th, shortly after the first.
The same spinner and air compressor is used for the experiment.
Instead of rockets, though, matches are glued to the edges of the spinner.
Probably 50 or more matches are used.
First the adjust the spinner by removing the finger pads, screwing it into place and getting
it started with the air compressor.
Then a giant torch is used to light the matches.
At first the viewer is left watching the screen for several seconds wondering if this plan
will work.
Then all the matches ignite at once and the spinning flames run wild.
Nothing goes horribly wrong in this video, fortunately, and the spinning demon spinner
puts on a captivating show. and they warn the audience not to try this at home.
13.
Fireworks This video is a lot like the rocket experiment
done by Stephen Sharer; but, it takes a different route with the use of fireworks.
Mathias Moslund uploaded this video on April 16th and it has quickly gained over 70,000
views.
The first half of the video shows the process used to create the firecracker spinner.
Several small firecrackers were used, of course.
In addition, small washers, tape, cardboard, some type of tube and hot glue was used to
create the standing spinner.
The first attempt didn't work out very well.
Only two of the firecrackers were successfully lit before the spinner started taking off.
As a result, it quickly died down without giving much of a show.
The second attempt, though, was a success and an entertaining display.
All firecrackers were lit and the spinner moved at amazing speeds while showing an array
of fire and smoke.
That wasn't enough for Mathias though, as he took it a step further and delivered an
awe-inspiring performance to his viewers.
He purchased and attached much larger firecrackers in the next display.
This gave off an even more brilliant display of flames and smoke.
This looked like something you might actually purchase to celebrate New Year's.
12.
Duct Tape Spinner
This video was uploaded by PaulVid in March.
This spinner is a low budget homemade example of just how dangerous these little trinkets
can be.
Paul duct taped several short and long razors to the ends of two spinners.
He and his friend then spin the toys as fast as possible to see what damage they can do.
While with most objects, the spinners stop and don't do much damage you can imagine
that had they used a leaf blower like others have, or held the spinners in their hand much
more damage would have been done.
Furthermore, it goes to show just how easy it is to make a dangerous spinner, or ninja
star, with the use of cheap products found around the house.
Luckily, neither of these boys were hurt in the process, which is something we can't
say for some entries to come.
11.
World's Most Dangerous Spinners In this video, Wolfie and his friend sit down
to have a competitive game of "who can make the most dangerous spinner using only deadly
sharp razorblades and hot glue".
Wolfie creates a spinner which is literally nothing but blade.
He aligns the razors so that no space is left uncovered by a sharp edge that can easily
cut someone.
He also makes a smaller spinner with three sharp and pointed blades on each end, which
he compares to "an attack by Wolverine".
His friend uses her skill to create a combo of danger.
Her spinner combines the wide and pointed blades to assure cuts and pain of all varieties.
In a follow-up vlog, Wolfie uses these blades, with the help of a leaf blower, to successfully
tear through a cantaloupe and other fruit.
10.
Fidget Spinner on Water The funk bros uploaded this video in March
and it has already racked up 5 million views.
In the video, Corey and Capron play with their proclaimed 1000mph spinner Their first challenge
is seeing if the spinner will skip or spin on top of water.
The use an electric air pump to get the spinner going at it's full speed before throwing
it on top of their backyard pool.
Unfortunately, the spinner doesn't really skip although it does seem to spin on the
water for a split second before sinking down.
After this the challenge is to see if the spinner will cut a Peace Tea can.
Again this attempt fails.
Something important in this video does happen, though, and is why it's featured on the
list.
When the electric pump is used to fuel the spinner, it moves so fast that you can actually
hear the whirring of the spinner, like the blades of a helicopter.
The spinner used here doesn't have blades attached to it, but that sounds is pretty
horrifying when you consider others have placed razor blades, rockets, flames, exacto knifes
and the like to the edges of their spinners.
9.
Exacto Spinner This spinner is available on bladehq.com and
it's truly a perilous find.
The spinner is weighted in the middle and covered with what's known as finger pads
on either side.
The only two ends to the spinner are made to look like exacto knifes and are just as
sharp as the real thing.
It's got to be quite the challenge holding this and avoiding a deep cut.
Exacto knifes are specifically made for precision cutting so these edges are literally dangerously
sharp.
But with a release date of February 31, 2018, this spinner won't be released.
8.
More Razors This video was uploaded by Dalton's Garage
on April 15th.
There is some pretty hilarious, yet unrelated arguing going on in the background of this
video.
However, the most fascinating part is the spinner on display.
The oval shaped spinner has two wide razors attached with what appears to be a special
kind of metal glue.
The wide razors provide a sharp edge and point for a possible cut from any angle.
This video is also a perfect example for how easy these toys are to make.
If you've got a spinner, some glue, and razors then you've got a weapon that spins.
Of course, that's not to say you should go out and make one.
Dalton himself said in the description of his video "Do not try this at home as it's
for entertainment ONLY.
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR WRONG DOINGS".
It's safe to say that no one out there is encouraging the use of these unsafe novelty's.
7.
NINJA Genji Overwatch Shuriken Hand Spinner This sleek and stylish spinner is actually
up for sale online.
The dangerous yet flawless spinner is made with zinc alloy and the ends are sharpened
for a risky touch.
Of course, the ends are pointed but not razor sharp as to avoid injury.
It's possible to have the metal sharpened, if you're looking for a little more danger,
though.
This spinner is modeled after the shuriken star from Overwatch's character Genji.
While the main purpose of this toy is for novelty and fidgeting.
The pointed ends and easy to sharpen edges means you must be careful.
Especially if you take the extra step to make the toy more dangerous.
Once again, this toy takes a very artistic route compared to other "dangerous spinners".
Detail was certainly put into the design process.
There's engraving and carving in some parts of the spinner, the blades are shined brilliantly
and there are several spots of green detail to truly mimic the shuriken star.
6.
Rocket Spinner Though this one could be considered more of
an experiment than an actual functioning spinner, the idea does make room for disaster which
is always dangerous.
YouTuber, Stephen Sharer, uploaded this 15-minute vlog on April 4th.
The vlog follows his adventure in making a rocket powered spinner, which he claims will
go up to 1000 miles per hour.
Using small firecrackers, fuses, tape, foam, plastic and hot glue, Carter and Stephen create
rockets.
From here they glue the homemade rockets to the outside of the spinner.
They take their creations to an outside area setup for filming.
Of course, they wear protective masks and gloves.
In addition, they warn the audience to not try this at home.
Finally, they light the rockets up.
The spinner does move at amazing speeds for a few seconds, but then one rocket breaks
off and the entire set up crumbles.
Admittedly, though, for the few seconds that the spinner gained momentum, it was a fascinating
sight.
5.
Naruto Shuriken Metal Weapon This spinner is among the few that look artistic.
Immense detail was clearly put into creating this small spinning toy.
From the dragon-like claws on the inner circle, to the carved wings on the blades, this is
a work of art.
This 17 second video, uploaded by Origami Tourist 2010, demonstrates just how fascinating
these little toys are.
This particular spinner was purchased on Ebay and is crafted to resemble the weapon style
from the anima Naruto.
The toy starts out in a circle shape with gold-like metals and dark metals.
As the toy spins, though, the wing shaped blades expand outward.
OrigamiTourist explains that he had to slightly modify the toy so that the wings would expand
automatically when the toy is spun.
The comments are filled with questions about how dangerous the toy really is, to which
Origami responds "the points could cut your fingers or hand" The sharp edges and points
of the toy could really slice up your hand if you're not being careful while spinning
or even modifying it.

Razors 2.0 David V Tv, posted this video on March 28th
to showcase a seriously superb homemade spinner.
The spinner has 6 razorblades, 6 sharp and thin thumbtacks, and 3 longer sharp nails.
David explains "I'm nervous to even spin it because it's so close to cutting me no
matter how I do it."
Thankfully nothing horrible happens in this video, but as David plays with the spinner
he clearly terrified of cutting himself because of just how close the blades come to the inside
of his hand and his fingers.
David has the right idea by being careful and putting the spinner down after a few rounds.

World's Largest Spinner This video was posted by Medicated Minds.
The description reads "DISCLAIMER: Please do not attempt to perform or replicate any
stunts performed in the making of this video.
... We are not responsible for any injuries occurred recreating these stunts.
I actually did cut my finger though believe it or not."
Ry creates several dangerous spinners with blades ranging from short and wide to long
and thin.
Every blade is hazardously sharp, though.
In the process of testing out these spinners Ry accidentally cuts himself several times
and does puncture a few objects.
The star of this video, though, is a giant spinner which he designed himself.
He describes it as "the world's largest spinner".
He purchased sharp gears from a repair shop and took the four parts to a welder who neatly
created the fully functioning spinner, which given the right power would probably break
bone.
2.
Fire Spinner This vlog style video explores several types
of spinners.
From the more artistically made spinners, to your run of the mill razor blade homemade
spinners, Marcus plays with them all.
The last spinner, of course, is the most magnificent of all.
Marcus takes a spinner and attaches three full-length kitchen knife blades to them.
He calls it the "windmill ninja star".
When the spinner is exposed to compressed air it's already a terrifying show.
The blades are so long and heavy you can almost feel the pain of being hit by one.
That isn't the end of the danger, though.
Steel wool is attached to the blades on the windmill spinner and then a torch is used
to ignite the wool.
Compressed air is quickly used to the get the fire windmill whirling.
Sparks fly everywhere as the wool burns and the spinner picks up speed.
At some point the flames become so hot they turn white or light blue.
Thankfully no one is hurt during the glowing performance.

Ouch
This video was uploaded by Jake Dufner on April 18th and be warned things go very bad
toward the end of the 15 minute vlog.
In the video, Jake and his friends construct a razor spinner and use an air compressor
to get it revolving.
A third friend is talked into being the victim of the experiment by sticking his hand in
the way of the blades.
The first time no cut occurs, the second time a small cut, about the size of a papercut
is inflicted.
The last time, though, the blade slices through the side of his hand going quite deep.
The next portion of the vlog shows the trio driving to the ER as they give water to the
victim and assure him he's going to need stitches.
Once at the hospital the friends are laughing over the wound as a nurse puts in stitches.
This is a perfect example of what you shouldn't do with these toys.
In this case there was a dangerously deep cut, a few stitches but it could have easily
taken a much more worse path had the blade hit an artery.
Thanks for checking out this video.
