    We've got 6 very excited children at the prospect of a 'bunji jumping thing', anyone got any experience of them and know if they're any good ?

    Do you really fancy permanently supervising them to make sure they don't strangle/hang themselves?
    When it comes to thought, some people stop at nothing.........

    I'm with you on this.. I really think you'd be in for a hell of a lot of work with something as major as this, I know my eldest is the clumsiest child ever and would end up being catapulted into the next estate if I let him loose on anything like that lol! I don't think they really are for gardens are they? :rotfl:

    Great find OP... I've ordered one... my girls are both having trampoline lessons... and we're lucky enough to have a big garden so overlooking our neighbours isn't an issue.

    hoola-hoop... my guess is that if you mention that to most children they'll assume you're offering them a snack...

    still a bargain as these are £4 for 5 mins at butlins :eek:
    Hang on a minute. The ones I've seen at a fairground (and presumably all the professional ones are the same) have some sort of powered attachment to add bounce, controlled by the supervisor. Don't expect this self-powered one to be nearly so much fun.
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.

    my kids aren't big enough, my youngest are only 10 and 11, I am not sure that my eldest who is 16 is large enough, but (she thinks she is fat!!) she is skinny!!

    How do you get to the top to bungee jump??
    ACII and Chartered so now I can focus on learning to play my beautiful Sax. 🎷

    When I were a kid we had hoola hoops for gods sake! (still laughing).. :rotfl:

    Hoola hoops? You were lucky. I had to make do with a cabbage and a stick and was bloody grateful for that!
    Just because you used to be you think everybody else is, don't you?
