"Bungee Bouncer" Adds Fun To Trampolines

"Bungee Bouncer" Adds Fun To Trampolines FARM HOME recreation 28-1-30 Anyone with a trampoline will like this new add-on "bungee bouncer" that lets you bounce up high and even do flips in the safety of a body harness. "Besides being a lot of fun, it makes your trampoline safer," says Global Creative Products, Inc., Albany, Ga. The Bunji Bouncer fits any trampoline shape or size. It consists of a 16-ft. high, rectangular metal frame that U-bolts onto the sides of the trampoline as well as underneath it via a telescoping pole. A pair of braces provide support on each side. A rope runs up one side of the frame and across the top over a pair of pulleys. The jumper wears an adjustable, velcro-fitted harness that attaches to a pair of short bungee cords that snap onto the overhead rope. A crank located on one side of the frame is used to tighten or loosen the rope to adjust the height of the harness. "It's a good safety device for a rowdy 3-year old kid because you don't have to worry that he'll fall off the trampoline. It's also a great way to learn how to do flips, because you can flip forward or backward without falling and breaking your neck," says a company spokesman. "Some gymnasts use it to practice certain kinds of tucks, and some college swim teams even use it to practice diving. "You can't hit your head on top of the frame, because the rope is of a certain length and when the rope bottoms out, you can't go any higher." Sells for $499 (includes S&H).
