Adult Johnny Jumper

I have made a working prototype. Its a blast plus it can double as a swing. I posted a video under the video side of the site. I had a blast so far making it and hope to spend lots of time in it infront of my tv either watching tv or playing games. http://www.dailydiapers.com/vids/play/Other/Adult_Johnny_Jumper_prototype

With all due respect, I wish the video hadn't been 90° tilted, and I would have liked to have seen the construction of the seat.

I recorded it using my phone in the vertical position I too was disappointed in the orientation as well. As for the contruction I used steel galvanized pipe half inch by 18 inches and half inch 24 inches and four 90 degree elbows. On one end of one pipe i had ground down the threading and hammered it into the 90 degree elbow. I bought 2 yellow 2 inch tow straps that were each 30 feet in lenth. I used every bit of the strap. I bought strong thread and had stitched everything so far. As for the spring up above the seat I used a 30 inch galvanized pipe with two U bolts and end caps for the pipe. For the spring I used a 140 pound garage door spring cut in half. And yes I broke grabbity. Right now I have mine designed for a 10 foot ceiling however I am going to make it adjustable for other heights by sewing the straps that connect the seat to the spring for other ceiling heights.

The above message was typed on my phone sorry for the spelling errors. Also I will take more photos.

Oh and so far it has cost me $100 in the end I expect it to cost $125.

I tried my hand at a Johnny Jumper and used it in a few videos, but my sewing skills were severely lacking. It looks like you used rubber bungee cords for the spring action? That might be a little dangerous. I've had them break all too many times.

I used a garage door spring for my jumping action. I wouldn't use bungee cord.
