I fondly remember playing with my Skip-It, and the few times I injured myself or my friends! Nonetheless, I loved my Skip-It, produced by Tiger Electronics. If you aren’t familiar with Skip-It, it was an apparatus designed to be affixed to the child’s ankle via a small plastic hoop and spun around in a 360 degree rotation while continuously skipped by the child user.
I got mine in the ’90s, so my Skip-It had a nifty counter that told me the number of skips I completed before falling on my face.
Fun Fact: Marshall Swails of Irmo, SC won the 1995 World Skip-It Open at the 1995 Toy Congress in Wolfsburg, Germany. He skipped 300,546 times on his custom glitter filled Skip-It.
