TIL The Creator of Frisbee Is A Literal Frisbee ?! 😅

avatar

Or to be more precise, a limited number of frisbees 🙃

But let's take everything from the start.

Meet Ed Headrick, chances are you have never heard of him. At least I know I hadn't:

Also known as "Steady" Ed Headrick, he was a toy maker best known for being the inventor of modern-day frisbee and the sport of disc golf. The photo above was taken a couple months before his death in August 12, 2002.

Anyways... Per his wishes after his death he was cremated and his ashes were used to make a limited number of discs.

Most discs were given to friends and family and a few remaining were sold with the proceeds going to the "Steady" Ed Memorial Disc Golf Museum in Columbia County, Georgia.

"Herein lie the ashes of the father of Modern Frisbee and the sport of Disc Golf."

I guess in the end he became what he loved most. A frisbee 😅

I wonder if any of those limited discs has been used to play fetch with a dog. For some reason I think he would entertain the idea very much!

As always, feel free to visit Wikipedia which was my main source for yet another trivia post if you want to read more 😀

Dude loved frisbees so much he literally became one. Imagine someone casually throwing one of those discs around, not knowing it’s got Ed’s ashes in it 🤣👀

That is an interesting way to use your remains. It's an interesting idea though.

So creative the legend of frisbee. His limited and rare edition of frisbees made from his own ashes could potentially value millions in auction. So fascinating to know this kind of rare trivia🤩, looking forward to read more of this

I suppose if we're going to meet our ends by our career choice, my ashes are going to be inside of some Covid vaccine, or possibly in some Viagra pill. Now that might cause unexpected side effects, but the good thing is that everyone already hates the Covid vaccine, so I'll be ok.

That is really cool, he became the toy he created. That shows he truly loved his invention! I had never heard of him either!
