Is the weight tolerance a typo? Can the ball potentially withstand two thousand pounds?

Yes that is a typo. It is actually 250 Lbs as a recommended maximum weight.

It is great before it breaks. I gave to my son for Xmas last year. He played with it for about an hour, dropped it and it broke in to 2 pieces. I think it should be able to withstand dropping a few times before breaking. When it dropped it wasn't in the "ball" position, it was extended. Hope this helps.

Are you calling our model fat? Joking! Where does it say 100 LBS? This ball is made for adults and can easily handle 250 LBS (if you see our yellow ball model, he weighs around that much). Happy Jumping!

It is light weight. I don't think it could handle the weight of a soccer ball or football. It is top of the line for baseball.

Not sure Katie but I googled this and most are maximum of 250 lbs. I LOVE this ball and also bought one for a gift for a gym partner. Great quality for a great price! Pumps up with the included pump really fast too. I would highly recommend this fitness ball. If you're not familiar with exercises for the ball, the included DVD provides a total workout too.

Without a manufacturer limitation or a "destructive" testing conducted by a third party evaluation, I feel that 200-250 pounds is safe. Still, I would not jump on it, rather just sit in a stable position. Good luck.

Not a problem - it's very well built. I'm just under 200 and I know it could handle someone much heavier.

I think I remember it to be 250. I tried to really test it, but not sure how much weight I could put into the effort.

If I remember right, it's 300 pounds. When you go to the page for the specific product you can find the statistics, but they are way down under reviews and such. Generally that's where you find weight restrictions, measurements, and stuff. I'm over 250lbs and have no problems with it. It gives me a good low impact workout. I suffer from multiple health issues and meds that made me gain weight. This ball is the most active exercise that I've been able to do. It's also good for leg lifts and upper body exercises. I don't know what it is about simply having and object that helps me feel like I'm exercising or makes it more enjoyable. I hope that helps. It's more information than you asked for.

I think that's a typo. 2.1 lbs sounds right. I think the decimal is missing.

According to the box, the weight limit is 300 lb's and it has a 2 year warranty!

That must be a typo. The kit doesn't weigh more than a couple of pounds. BTW, it works great.

The size of the ball doesn't matter. It is the size of the shaft on the ball. A 2" ball is just fine, just make sure the shaft is the correct size.

The weight limit for most stability balls is 250 lbs., although models capable of supporting weights of up to 300 lbs. are not uncommon.Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/380861-weight-limits-for-stability-balls/#ixzz2VDAmLq6f

I doubt 400lbs, maybe 350lbs and less. Would be safer to say 200lbs or less. It not just the weight, it would be the shifting of weight back and forth that would break it.

I believe over 500 lbs breaks the weld, however the weight (2500lbs) of say a boat n trailer is distrubited over the entire lenght not all on the ball.

It's a pretty sturdy ball. Just be prepared to pump it up frequently, like all the time.
