The "Hula Hoop" throughout the centuries.
As far back as 3000 BCE Egyptians were curving reeds and rattan into circles. These hooped circles were swung around the waist, pushed along the ground by a stick or thrown in the air. In Later, both Greek and Roman children played with hoops made from grapevine and strips of scrap metal. It is worth mentioning that this sport was considered quite beneficial, which is why it was recommended by Hippocrates for the training of the body of those who could not respond to intense exercise.

In the North American continent, Eskimo children used hoops to learn harpooning skills. This fun form of target practice helped teach accuracy for many First Nation and Native American people as well. For the Lakota, however, the hoop has extra significance in that it symbolizes the Circle of Life. Although many tribes lay claim to the Native American Hoop Dance, it wasn't until the 1930s that a young man named Tony White Cloud (Jemez Pueblo, NM), began using multiple hoops made out of willow wood and became known as "founder of the hoop dance".
Native American Hoop dance usually focuses on very rapid moves, but sometimes speed and creativeness balance the scoring between Hoop dancers who use only four hoops but dance to extremely fast songs, versus dancers with 20 or more hoops who danced to a slower drumbeat.

Homemade hoops started showing up in English households by the 14th century, and were used by all ages. “Hooping” became a craze that swept the country until british doctors starting blaming the use of hoops for everything from back pain to heart attacks. But it wasn't until 18th century were british sailors visited the Hawaiian Islands was that toy got the name we are all familiar with. They compare the traditional Hula dance and recognized the similar hip movements, since then the name "hula hoop" was born.
In the early 20th century, a modern version of the hoop was made of bamboo. Australian school children used hula hoops as exercise equipment. Soon the demand became so high it drew the attention of two American toy manufacturers, Richard P. Knerr and Arthur "Spud" Melin, the founders of Wham-O. They began producing plastic hoops in bright colors, for $1.98 each, and a craze was born. In 1958, in the space of four months twenty-five million Wham-O Hula Hoops were sold that were not geometrically correct for success and work for less than one third of the population.
Knerr and Melin trademarked the name Hula Hoop®, but they could not trademark the hoop itself because it is such an ancient invention.
Hula Hoop Geometry
Toroidal Equilibrium is the geometric concept which illustrates how the axis corresponds to the toroid. The axis represents your body and the toroid represents the hoop.
Wham-O sold over 100 million hoops that were not geometrically correct for success and worked for less than one third of the population smaller, cheap knock offs flood gymnasiums world wide, destroying the geometric opportunity for success and damaging self esteem around the world.
