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]
The toy has received recent notoriety appearing on several television shows, including Fox News Channel's late night show Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld on May 22, 2008[citation needed], G4's Attack of the Show!, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and the Adult Swim game, Jazzpunk[3] as well as The Gruen Transfer,[4] Good Mythical Morning, and the Roly YouTube channel.
