About this deal

The space hopper was invented by Aquilino Cosani of Ledragomma, an Italian company that manufactured toy rubber balls. He patented the idea in Italy in 1968, and in the United States in 1971. Cosani called the toy "Pon-Pon".

The pump has an inflate and deflate valve. Use the deflate valve to make the hopper ball as small as possible for storage. The space hopper is a heavy rubber ball about 60–70 centimetres (24–28in) in diameter, with two rubber handles protruding from the top. A valve at the top allows the ball to be inflated by a bicycle pump or car tire pump. Building on the popularity for everything 1970's, this game takes the classic Space Hopper and turns it in to a fiercely competitive game. Thank you for a fantastic service hiring us the Farmyard Obstacle Course- despite the rain the children (and I don’t just mean my 8 year old whose party it was but my teenage children too!) had a great time and stayed on the bouncy castle for hours and to..” A Space Hopper (also known as a moon hopper, skippyball, kangaroo ball, bouncer, hippity hop, hoppity hop, sit and bounce, or hop ball).In the United States, the first mass-marketed hopping ball was a version of an earlier European toy—the Hoppity Hop, released by the Sun company after it introduced the ball in 1968 at the American International Toy Fair in New York. Available in Orange (just like the original), the Space Hopper comes with a fast inflating foot pump and is ideal for bouncing around the garden in the summer - would make an unusual fun seat indoors during the winter too! The European "Hop!" balls appeared in the beginning of the 1990s and are still available. Made by Italy's Ledragomma/Ledraplastic, these are essentially an exercise ball with a handle attached. The sizes of these balls range from the "Hop! 45" to the "Hop! 66" (66cm, about 26in). A ride-on suitable for teenagers and adults. Who remembers the old classic space hoppers from their childhood? Now you can enjoy them all over again at your party. Have races, or just bounce around for fun. They are bound to prove a hit with all teenagers and adults alike. It's important that the user doesn't exceed the maximum weight limit of their hopper. It will only be safe up to its weight limit — if someone heavier attempts to bounce, it could burst and cause an injury. Hopper ball weight limits are usually higher the larger they are, which is another reason why you should avoid using a model that's too small for you — so, no stealing your child's hopper ball for a bit of fun! Weight limits can range from less than 50 pounds for toddler models to more than 300 pounds for adult models. Features Design
