Abstract
A toy segmented ring suitable for tossing and game playing and having a generally annular shape defined by an augmented perimeter encompassing a plurality of flexible flaps surrounding a central orifice. The flaps will flex in response to lift forces which materialize as the ring is spinning during flight and will billow to provide a parachute effect on descent. These structural features add accuracy, ease of catching and interest to games and activities employing the ring.
