Some might say that the manufacturers of the Fire Footbag (Freedom Footbags) are simply doing Darwin’s work. It is an incredibly cool toy, but I have to admit, the thought of neighborhood kids playing around with these things scares the life out of me. Video after the jump.

The Fire Footbag is a ball constructed of flame-resistant Kevlar fibers that is designed to be soaked in kerosene, set alight and kicked like a hacky-sack. Not only does this pose a risk of personal injury, it also has the potential to damage other people’s property and start fires.

Price: $24.99 (personal liabiility insurance not included) [Freedom Footbags via DVICE]
