Toys have come a long way

I found this video of a commercial from the 1960's. According to Wikipedia, The Swing Wing was sold in 1965 and was recalled "due to injury suffered in the necks of children caused by the continual jerking motions required to use the toy". Ya think? And really, were kids this easily entertained back then? My kids would have laughed in my face if I'd tried to give them this toy!
