Yeah, someone's gonna get hurt. Awesomely.
It's hot out there, you guys. And there's only so much time you can spend indoors before you start feeling more isolated than Katie Holmes. Thankfully, there's water -- and absurdly fun water toys.

>What better way to beat the heat than with water toys, beach accessories and pool accouterments? In this era of SkyMall, pool toy technology has evolved far beyond inflatable water wings. Some of these toys are clearly intended for children, however, but in our estimation that only makes them ideal for drunken adult beachgoers. Hell, if nothing else, they'll keep you moist, even if the water is a less-than refreshing 90 degrees.

So here are the top 10 wildest, wackiest, most ridiculously awesome toys and trinkets to make your steamy summer even sweeter.

10. When was the last time you got your see-saw on? And we can only imagine the joys of this playground fave ;are that much more awesome in the water. Plus, any water device that looks like a giant banana is cool with us. So make like a rocking horse and get your roll on.

The perfect place to park your Riva.
9. We might just move in here. It comes complete with boat, ring buoys, and a removable roof raft. And hell, it can always double as a storage shed for that Riva you've been neglecting. Some Everglades redneck is living out of one of these things right this second, we guarantee it.

The size or scale of your RC vehicle is important because it can affect fuel consumption or battery life. The bigger scale models would naturally consume more fuel or have a shorter battery life than smaller ones.
