Today is National Hula Hoop Victims Memorial Day here in Shalampax. On this day, we pause to remember all of those poor souls who met a tragic end while playing with hula hoops.
There have been no cases of hula hoop deaths in Shalampax, nor are we aware of any specific cases anywhere in the world. However, people have been using hoops for exercise for millennia. And hula hoops as we know them today have been around since the 1950s.
We are not absolutely certain, but it seems almost inevitable that, in all of that time, there must have been some people who died after hula hooping, for example, too close to the edge of a high cliff, on the roof of a skyscraper, or in front of a functioning airplane propeller or jet engine.
