#14: Baby Dangler
In today’s world, christening your device “The Baby Dangler” might invite a chorus of jeers or a one-way ticket to the slammer. But in yesteryears, it was the ideal moniker for a contraption that suspended a cherubic baby between its doting parents. Oh, how the times have changed! The whimsy of the past often leaves us scratching our heads in the present.
In this picture, we see a daring couple elevating their thrill-seeking game by precariously dangling their tiny cherub above the icy, merciless surface of a skating rink. It sends shivers down our spine to even imagine the catastrophe that could’ve ensued had their skating skills been as questionable as their risk assessment abilities. Their audacious stunt certainly injects a shot of adrenaline into the otherwise mundane family day out.
