Average Price:$29 —— Tuck a nylon parachute into two indestructible ball halves, close the ball up, give it a few hearty swings by the tail and loft it sky-high. At the height of the toss (and, believe us, we're talking pretty high), the ball opens up and out pops the 80cm-diameter parachute. The whole thing floats down to the ground just like "Apollo 13".
