you start off in a sitting position, as you bounce up you catch
the rope and pull yourself a bit higher, next bounce brings you
even higher. You can use your feet on the wall to "run up"
even higher, finally reaching the top of the wall, where you
jump to the other side, into a deep pool.

The difference between the ideas: |
|
|
a. xenxag's Climbing up a Rope: rope with spring |
|
|
b. 21's quest - the Bounce Tower: Assortment of
trampolines. |
|
|
c. My (pashute's) - Trampoline staircase: Used in
the home and building, as a staircase replacement. |
|
|
d. This idea: A Single trampoline with static rope
and wall assistance. |
|
|
Okay, I was missing the idea. So it's a fixed
trampoline with a fixed rope to yank on to gain a
little bit of height at the top? That's actually
feasible. |
|
|
My big question becomes, how do you avoid adding
enough lateral motion during the yank so that you
either miss the trampoline or slam into the wall? |
|
|
21Q Thanks. [edited] both Meche and you got it
correctly. You can yank on it or you can catch it
and climb (you'll need to be stronger for that). |
|
|
I don't see why the yanking will throw you off.
Your going up, and pulling up. |
|
|
The point is fun. You don't continuously clime, so
you get a "rest" between jumps, and slowly go
higher and higher each time. Reaching great
heights is something people strive at on
trampolines. |
|
|
Here along with your feet pushing when on the
trampoline, you have chances to pull yourself up a
bit when your on top, and to walk on wall while on
the way up. |
|
|
Something a bit different exists as a merry-go-
round with a rope, and is similar fun. |
|
|
Trampoline wall walking looks amazing. |
|
|
Cant find it. Anybody saw a youtube with two kids
(girls?) trying to "run along the side of" a turning
"giant barrel".
They are in a harness on a rope from a tall pole at
the center. |
|
|
As they go around the barrel, and jump off it, they
try to keep their direction correctly, but instead
land with their shoulders or backs to the barrel. |
|
|
I tried: Playground, Wooden, Round, Rotating,
Turning, Merry-go-round, Climb wall, Fun, Fail... to
no avail. |
