When he jumped I was pulled into the air and flew across the yard. When I landed it would pull him back into the air. We could use leg power and jump back and forth for several minutes. We could get 8 feet in the air. It was a lot of fun until the cable broke.
My mom about had a heart attack when we saw the rig for the first time. My dad was in Korea at the time away from us for 18 months.

That sounds scary but fun at the same time.
