I found a direct link to the video so you can play it BIG and save it:

The jumping guy is a pro so he doesn't use a helmet anymore. I noticed that he still has knee-pads for those "oops" moments not shown in the video.

But you still need to know how to do it whithout ladning on your head.(For such moments you soud put an spring on your hear trough.)

Imagine what else would snap if the 'springs' went :shock:

Incredible! Looks like great fun, but definately very dangerous :lol:

I would imagine the same as you do on a trampoline?, absorb the bounce with your legs.

Why not just buy them?, I would have thought the USA is by far the easiest place to find them?, and they have been around for quite a few years now. Funnily enough they were on UK TV again last week, perhaps they have just been released again?.

moody07747 · 4th February 2006, 12:52 AM

why dont I just buy them?....because $500 seems crazy to me when I can just pick up two bowflex rods and some steel and weld some myself

Bowflex were recalled. Some people were seriously injured when they broke. They were only stretching with them, not jumping with them.

It's your life! - but trusting it to untested, potentially unsafe, equipment - where you have to have considerable skill to avoid injury anyway, sounds rather foolhardy?.

Why buy brake fluid?, just stick some water out of a puddle in the brake cylinder! - it's a liquid just the same :lol: :lol:

really....i ever heard that one...i guess they fixed it cuz its always on the TV still

I ahven't seen the original bowflex on TV for a long time. They have some new thing with disks. The disks contain different strngths of springs and as you pull the handles, the disks rotate to compress the springs.

I wonder how fast you could run in those?
