We have recently purchased the Super Pogo Stick by Flybar and we have never been so engrossed by this particular toy. We've been playing with it for the last couple hours, and we have never had so much fun! It's a great way to practice balance and coordination and a great way to bond with your kids. But along with all the enjoyment and fun, we have to practice caution and safety. This particular toy could bring about unwanted accidents if not used carefully.
If you read the manual, it is recommended for kids 14 years and above. So with that alone, this is not really just any kid's toy, clearly, it is for someone more mature and a bit responsible. But even so, adult supervision is still necessary.
If we talk about the product itself, Flybar has made sure that this particular toy is made top of the line and made of heavy-duty materials that are sure to support even your 220 pound friend, imagine that. The tip of the Super Pogo stick is also what they call, basing on their website, is made of an indestructible nitrile rubber tip. It is guaranteed not to slip and break even if you bounce it around a thousand times.
Now that we are assured of the product's safety, it's time to tackle our responsibility as a user. Now this is still a device that can bring about serious injuries if used in a reckless manner. It is important that we supervise our kids while playing with the pogo stick. It is also mandated that users should always wear safety gear in using the toy. Flybar also recommends using a safety helmet, and I would like to add, some knee pads and elbow pads for added safety as well. Better safe than sorry, I should say.
So now that you have all the safety gear, before you start jumping around, make sure you have all the necessary first aid materials that you may need in case any unwanted accidents occur, because even the most careful person is still bound to get an accident sooner or later. Make sure you have a first kit close at hand containing a disinfectant, few cotton balls, povidone iodine topical and some band aid strips for minor cuts and bruises as well. Also educate your teens using the pogo stick on how to react if serious accidents do occur.
Taking all those in a mental note, you can go ahead and start enjoying your Super Pogo Stick and jump around! It is also one great way to burn up those extra calories in your body. Go ahead and enjoy jumping!
