I'm planning on jumping off of a several story building. How many 40 lb cases do I need to buy to ensure a soft landing? I'm 180 pounds

Well, Ken, I want to preface my answer by saying that I am NOT a leprechaun, and am thus ill-equipped to advise you on what constitutes a safe level of cushioning necessary for dehydrated marshmallow-based free fall. I purchased the 40 pounds of dehydrated marshmallows as part of an elaborate Christmas joke for my adult children. I was surprised to find out how many people admitted that, like me, the only time we ever knowingly ingested the cereal portion of our favorite cereal was when it was impossible to seperate it from the dehydrated marshmallows. I will warn you, however, that even after extracting enough of the marshmallows to make an impressive show of burying said children (It kicked ass, truth be told), I was left with what seemed like a never-ending supply of dehydrated marshmallows that were eventually thrown away. But, I would think that you should ask yourself some questions before you attempt to jump off a building. For instance, how long have you been a leprechaun? Should you consult a more experienced leprechaun before making a potentially dangerous jump? Also, are you sure that whoever is following you is really after you? I believe it's possible that they may simply "always be after" your dehydrated marshmallows. Hope this helps!

Lol. Just refrain all together. You need quite a few cases or maybe a few 18wheeler loads ;)

Absolutely,, play ground sand which I seem to recall one bag is 40lbs. I combined sand and several bricks which may have totaled a bit under the recommended weight ? I think they recommend 80lbs..so I would encourage using at least the minimal recommended wght to minimize issues. I mean once it's together you're not gonna want to take it apart. I have had NO PROBLEM and I am very satisfied with this product.

The case is durable enough to handle such a short fall but I also suggests that you keep your tablet in an inner folding case before placing it inside the Case Logic. This will provide even more protective support from falls.

I believe so. The platforms aren't that terribly high so jumping on them should be of no issue.

According to the information that came with mine, weight limit is 300 lbs. I'm impressed with how heavy and durable the plastic is. The bellows are, or should be completely sealed and shouldn't be losing any air when the unit's not in use. Before each workout I "top off" the air in each bellow by holding down the big black button and gently pulling up on the step part of each step. This seems to replenish any air that might have escaped during the previous workout and reinflates the bellows - it seems to be important to do this before using it each time. Very clear instructions for doing this are given by Brenda on the DVD that comes with the Air Climber. I hope this helps!

I weigh 260. I can jump hard if I am a foot from the end, but if I jump at the end I do it gently. The one time I didn't I could hear a little crackling. No damage, but clearly I was taking it to the limit.

I don't recall if this case came with any spec weight so I tried my weight of 150 pounds on it just by balancing on it with my knees. I noticed some flexing in the plastic top and decided not to stand on it. It probably would have supported my weight. The plastic top is around a quarter of an inch thick with very little cross support making me believe it was only designed for tool protection and not as a ladder. I would strongly suggest you contact the manufacturer for further info on the specs for your safety.

I weigh 180 and I can walk on mine. You do have to make sure the ground is level.

I agree with Ray. The more space the better depending on your skill level. I've used my bedroom and launched off the bed. Nice soft place to crash, er, I mean land.

One that I got which comes with the two risers can take more than 200lb. Manufacturers usually note that to protect themselves from lawsuits.

I bought this and I jump up and down on it.. I weigh 165lbs and it seems solid as a rock... I would think if you are under 300 lbs (and not jumping on it) it should be fine.

I believe it is weight limits. My previous trampoline buckled under the pressure of.my girth. How was I supposed to lose if I couldn't jump? The pro series alleviated ALL of my concerns. It is a joy to bounce on.

I dont have the box anymore but at least 190# plus the force of jumping. Hope that helps!

Depends on how far the building is and obstacles in the way. I guess upto 200 ft. without major obstacles like hills or very thick walls etc. could be a safe bet. I have tried upto 150 ft. without problem.

That really depends on how much force is used during launch. My boys liked to jump on the launch pad and the rockets would go flying!! We "lost" several rockets on our roof (2.5 story home), so I do suggest that you move the launch pad away from anything that could potentially capture the rockets. But a one-footed good stomp could get these rockets flying a good 10-15 ft. in the air. It's a fun toy!

To anchor on a hard surface like cement, most people use sandbags. You'll want to tie them to the loops on each corner of the bouncer. We recommend using about 40-50lbs on each corner.

From what I understand after doing research, the soft bounce is for people under 300 lbs and the hard bounce is for people over 300 lbs.
