Great family fun! Don't forget to read instructions!
If your looking for something that involves being outdoors and is fun for the whole family, this is a great product! My kids got it as a Christmas gift and really love the challenge of walking across the imaginary lava pit.
However, a word of caution... there is a reason that the instructions say to set up the slackline around knee height. I found this out when I decided to bravely cross the lava pit of doom. I was about midway across when my confidence decided to leave me and my legs began dancing like a wiggly worm hitting the hot pavement. What happened next left me second guessing my decision setting up the slackline around hip height. Both feet went outwards leaving the extremely tension line that was sagging due to my weight to spring up as I was coming down. The sound of the slap was quickly heard before the pain began to surge, and all that was left to do was roll over and fall helplessly into the lava pit of doom. I felt as if my manhood was forever gone as my voice regressed to my teenage years of puberty. My facial expressions changing as I tried to utter "I'm okay" words to my wife who was laughing harder than she's ever laugh in her life. I finally regained my thoughts and slowly developed super powers to crawl out of the lava pit of doom... my children cheering me on.
This Christmas will never be forgotten and I owe it all to my lack of reading instructions that came with the Slackline Kit.
