Can you get these to explode if you step on them?
2088706
Yes but no matter how you activate the bag it takes about a minute to inflate to the point of rupture.
2088707
Yes you can. Just place the bag on a hard surface like sidewalk or patio and step on it. I just tried one and it took about 15 seconds to inflate. A little baking soda and vinegar may ooze out so I recommend outdoor use with adult supervision. Kids love the pop!
2088708
Yes! But the person would know they stepped on it. And they make a little bit of a mess. Very slight but they are intended for outdoor use. I have wrapped them in a paper towel and tossed them in trash cans etc.

Yes. Its a bag of vinegar inside a bag of baking soda(i think) you pop the inner bag they swell up and pop about as loud as a cap gun

You first have to pop the little bag inside and shake. They explode on their own. You could step on the after it inflates but you would just have to time it before it works itself. Hope that helps.

definitely not! they're hard plastic. either they will melt or emit toxins...

Yes you could. There's only plastic holding them together, maybe a little less than a quarter inch of it.

Yes,just don't put them on. Follow all the other instructions. It's pretty sturdy with or without wheels.

They seem sturdy from what I can tell. I'd still recommend not stepping on them or putting pressure on them, as it is somewhat flat and "disc" shaped, so it could potentially break pretty easy in that regard.

I wouldn't recommend it since they are interlocking and they could break apart. They need a generally, hard level surface.

No. They are plastic and would be insufficient to pull that kind of weight.

No, they don't actually click in ir anything. When the legs are up they are slanted outward, so it would be reasonably difficult to just knock it over.

In my opinion, no. I think they would weigh too much once you put the dirt in them.

I have never had a problem tripping on them but going down stairs one has to be careful. They do not need to be attached and are sufficiently heavy not to blow away.

Well, I cranked mine down pretty good and they do not squeak. Give it a shot. I don't think you'll break anything.

Not easily. They sit pretty flat on the surface so he would have to get his fingers under the rim or push them up from underneath ... Still it could be done!

They do become brittle. If you don't step on or drop they may be ok. This happens when left in sub freezing tewmp outside.

hmmm. When a structure is built a jostle of any sort will make it collapse. So stepping on it in that way won't break it. We have kids not wear shoes in the house, so I can't vouch for what would happen if they were jumped on with shoes. But kids in socks step on them all the time, with no breakage. They are thin, about 1/4 inch thick with plastic bracing inside. Breakage is really not an issue. This is an absolutely wonderful open ended toy.

I haven't tried. They seem to be so very fragile. If you try it let us know what happened. Judie Johnson

No ..... the bag they come in has a slight sprinkling of catnip over them and the catnip will just fall off of them if you shake the bag slightly . These balls a very light and not solid . You can step on them and they will regain their shape after you remove your foot .

Hold them waist high by the small end & drop them to the floor several times. It's in the instructions & it works for me.
