In the right hands, anything can be used as a weapon. Even that sticky note or pencil on your desk could be used as a murder weapon. One of the more surprising dangerous items however, is the hula hoop. It's just a ring of plastic, used as a childrens' toy, right? Wrong. Go to any Hoopnautica or Hoopgirl class. Yeah, its good exercise for all ages (burning as many calories as running but lower impact), but the hoops sometimes have minds of their own. I have knocked my glasses of many times, and everyone in the class ends up with bruises at some point, whether from their own hoop or another student's. I could see some ancient or future society using these as weapons, easily. They require very little training to do damage.
*NOTE: This is not meant to discourage anyone from trying hooping. It's still a fun, calorie burning workout.*
