can you dunk on this rim without breaking?

You can, but don't hang on it. Mine has fallen in the pool due to a 90 pound boy hanging on it. The hoop is fine, as are the boys. Awesome hoop. Must have.

I have teenage boys who play hard on this rim. I don't encourage them to dunk n hang on the rim, but it does happen. It weighs a lot when the base is full, but I still think they r a bit afraid of it falling into the pool if they hung on the rim. So they dunk without hanging. This hoop, which I took in in the winter, has held up great and we look forward to many more seasons of fun with it.

It seems that it would be strong enough but no one has tried. Bought this for my grown son who is very happy with it.

My frame was not drilled for a break. I had to bore a larger hole to accommodate the break bolt. You'll need extra long reach breaks to reach the rim.

I have dunked several times. I actually weight 165 so it works good. I would definitely recommend following the directions on cementing in the pole. That is the strength of it. The rim is of good quality though. If there is problems you do have a warranty with it. One of the net clips fell off after my first month and I called it in to Lifetime (the maker) and they shipped me a brand new rim. Love it.

Its pretty durable, you can't hang on the rim tho. This is our second season using the basketball hoop and its holding up well!

Yes, I have moved from inside to the outside. The only problem is that if they jump and dunk, and grab the rim, it destroys the backboard.

Faith, I am so sorry but I cannot answer that question but I would be contacting the company as these hoops are really a tough piece of equipment and I cannot imagine how a piece could break. I would be thinking that they have to have at least a 1 yr warranty if not longer. Sorry that's all I can suggest.

No, It would take a good amount of force to "break" the cube. However Internal popping can be an issue with the cube it the adjustment screws were loosened to much, this however does not mean the cube has broken. It just means that the cube has pieces inside that are misaligned and need to be put back together.

I don't think you will find a better mini hoop on the market. I host a march madness party every year and we have grown men (acting like 10 year olds) dunking on this thing. Granted, we don't hang on the rim but this goal is tuff.

It is pretty sturdy - we had ours installed securely - however, our grandson is twelve and while pretty good - cannot dunk as yet - so you need answers from taller fellows

Nope, Its a sturdy rim. Ive hung on mine before. I would be more worried about your backboard than the rim while hanging...

I don't think so. You would have to really abuse it to break it. I have dropped mine and it did not break.

Absolutely NOT. One dunk in the water dish and it is ruined, and the warranty does not apply.

I don't think it would break unless you were racking it really hard. I will definitely put one on my ksg and try it though

Ha ha...yes you can hang on this sucker after your dunk. I think we put 9 bags of cement to put this in the ground and ares isn't going anywhere. We love this hoop. Good buy.

Sure. It is not very heavy at all, even when you fill the base with water. The rim only sits about a foot or so off the ground. We have it on the pool deck in the 3 1/2 foot end. I'm six feet tall and can dunk flat footed.

It is not flimsy although you could try to rip it between your hands. I have used it on hoops and it was OK. The hoops were within 24" of the ground.
