Blobbing

Blobbing is an outdoor water activity in which a participant sits on the end of a partly inflated air bag (known as a water trampoline or blob) and is launched into the water when another participant jumps onto the air bag from a platform on the opposite side.

[citation needed] Spike White of Kanakuk Kamps in Branson, Missouri brought an old single ply version of the Blob that had been made in Texas to Jack and Lorie Hunt with Springfield Special Products in 1985 to see if they could manufacture it.

[citation needed] Springfield Special Products holds the national registration for the names The Blob and Waterblob in the US.

Teams (2 Jumpers & 1 Blobber)[citation needed] battled against each other on a knock-out basis.

[2] The current official Guinness World Record "greatest height achieved by being launched from an airbag" is 22 meters (72 feet 2 inches) and was set on 7 June 2012 by Christian "Elvis" Guth, Christian von Cranach and Patrik Baumann, a German blob team in Hamburg/Norderstedt (D).
