Post by: TuRnER 95 on August 20, 2010, 10:03:33 AM

Hey

So I'm on holiday and I have brought my stilts with me and yesterday when the weather wasn't gd enough to sun bathe I asked my dad to take some pictures of me on my stilts and then u goes what if u jumped in the pool so in short he wants me to jump in with my stilts on so he can get a decent photo
Is this a good idea please reply and tell me as I'm a bit of a muppet when it comes to stilts

make sure he is with you to pull you out. it might be difficult to get out by yourself. also as soon as the poolside gets with it can be very slippery. you don't want to fall before you're over the edge.

They do this at aubria every year and when i spoke to a stilt manufacturer from germany he told me that it does no damage to stilts or springs :) but swimming is hard with them on

How deep is the pool? If its deeper than your total height with the stilts on you may have a problem lol. Also, as said above there is a major slip hazard !!!!
