Some serious things to consider before buying this ball....
First of all, if you have your heart set on this, and want this GIGANTIC ball, there is technically nothing wrong with this product, but PLEASE take a minute to consider some things that I did not consider before imposing this monstrosity onto our son's graduation party....
1) It's huge. I mean it's really big, which means you cannot see who or what is on the other side of it. We had a party full of teenage boys, (no small kids) and this was a problem with people getting bowled over. I can only imagine if there were small kids around.
2) Once it was completely blown up, (about an hour and a half with a small air compressor), it bounced....EVERYWHERE....across people, picnic tables, horse fence, the neighbor's yard, and INTO A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY!!!!!!! My party goer teens were trying to keep it from causing a pile up in front of our house! We had to push the darn thing down into the woods to keep it from blowing (it was windy) back into the road!!!!
3) We decided that letting some air out of it might keep it from bouncing so much, and by this time, it had a few holes in it from being pushed into the woods. The boys played with ok for a while, until it had lost enough air for one boy to think he could jump on it like a trampoline. That's when he bounced over the top of it and came down to the ground, breaking his collar bone.
4) The kids took it back to the campfire after that, and ceremoniously deflated the rest if it after that, and that was the end of my $100 hope for a cool party toy. Never again.... 😔
