Back in the 80's, I remember playing with these. (http://toymakersguide.org/toys/whizzers) I guess they were essentially fidget spinners. But, you could get them to close to 1000 RPM and if a piece broke off, people could get hurt ... back in the good old days. ;-)
There is still a dent in the metal ceiling of my high school shop class where a battery jettisoned from a light-up whizzer I was spinning.
80's? I remember playing with these deep in the 90's! Heck, we even fashioned makeshift ones ourselves haha! I guess that alone is proof it outlived the fidget spinner.
Good point.
