My son had a very serious accident while using his pogo stick. The rubber end had worked it's way up from the end of the stick and when my son started to jump on it the pogo stick slid out from under him and he fell and smashed his head onto the concrete. We found him laying in a pool of blood, screaming. We rushed him to the emergency room to have him examined. He suffered a severe cut on his lip, which required stitches. He also suffered a concussion, and lost his two front teeth. What a sad thing to have happen... this all happened Saturday October14th. We are going to contact the company on this matter with hopes of them doing somthing about the rubber ends. I would not buy this pogo stick due to the rubber end. I found it interesting that there was another person which wrote about the same thing in the comment section of this web page... I would say they were lucky enough to find the rubber end was bad before one of their children were hurt seriously like my son. This pogo stick was purchased at Toys r Us. 3 stars

The pogo sticks were a hit when we got them in September, butonly a few short weeks later the tips broke, therefore no one coulduse them... 4 stars

This toy may be a lot of fun to play with but it is also dangerous - the rubber tip on the end of the pogo stick wears off very quickly. I have noticed that I am not the only reviewer on here that has had this problem.
I gave this pogo stick to my 9 year old stepdaughter for her birthday and within a week the rubber tip wore off and she ended up falling off the stick, onto the ground, and hit her head pretty hard.
Until the company improves this item, I HIGHLY recommend that you do not buy this no matter how much fun it may be. It's not worth getting hurt over. 4 stars

Pros:

~This pogo is by far the least expensive of the sticks offered on Amazon.
~The weight range is set low enough that a girl can actually use it!
~General pros for all pogo sticks: improves co-ordination and fitness level, burns energy, and is FUN!

Cons:

~Not a good stick for a heavier teen.
~Tips wear out FAST.

But good news! You can stock up on tips...Have fun! 5 stars

I have used many pogo sticks in my time, I am a 37 year old female (yes i bought it for myself), and this pogo has bounce. I was very impressed with the quality. There isnt anything negative I can say about this product.
The shipping was the fastest I have ever seen.
highly recommended 5 stars
