Swing Wing (toy)
Appearance
The Swing Wing is a toy worn on the head and twirled by moving the neck and/or body in a back and forth motion, similar to the Hula Hoop. It was developed by Transogram Games and introduced in 1965.[1] It gave people concussions due to the swinging force of the blade.[citation needed]
