Re: Life Saving Device?

It's funny to participants from last year who remember that the tubes read "Not a Lifesaving Device".

And yes, more threatening than not. I'm one of the tallest on my team and I'm scared, sort of.

Re: Life Saving Device?

some of our smaller team members had trouble grabbing it, but with that much air inside i have no worries about it floating.
to summarize: it would float, but you probably would have trouble grabbing it. and as other team members insist on disproving, you cannot stand on the ball (it could become a life-ending device, please nobody try this)
