Jump, duck or get knocked over!

In the photo is another of the attractions at the multicultural festival we attended recently. The photo isn’t very clear but, if you look carefully, either side of the centre ‘Wipeout Challenge’ is an air-filled plastic ‘arm’. One (to the right) is at the level of the wall; the other is to the left and lower down. Once they’ve paid their money and taken off their shoes, the children swarm into the area, the barrier is put across and the arms start circling. If they’re not quick enough to duck, the high arm knocks them (gently) to the floor. Most were jumping the lower arm. At the very edge of the circle, they could dodge both arms. It looked a lot of fun.

Kids dodging the high arm while hopping the low one sounds like a blast.... i love that they could just slip along the edge, kinda a loophole ngl.

I am sure the kiddos enjoyed. When I went to the Fall Festival in the town here they had a climbing wall for the kiddos..constructed just for the fair....it was more like an inflatable though actually.

Thank heavens my nephews never got into anything like that, they were fairly violent when they were young

Sounds more like gladiator training! If the film Spartacus is to be believed
