User Submitted Cannonball Splash Water Slide Includes Body Board Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-12-01 Frustrating and not safe enough I purchased this for my 5 year old twins, this past summer. While they had some fun on it, they were more often than not frustrated by the water not hitting the slide properly. Every time they went down the slide they had to spend a minute or so resetting the direction of the water. Also, the slide kept falling over, making me concerned that they would get hurt. Another issue I had was the gap between the upper and lower part of the slide - I was afraid someone would get a hand or a head stuck as the rest of their body went sliding past and possibly causing injury. I would have liked the connection between the slide and the pool to have been MUCH more secure, it is only held in place by a few pieces of Velcro. I purchased this slide to replace a Whamo Slip 'N Slide Bounce 'N Splash. We used the Bounce and Splash the prior year and it got ALOT of use!!! My kids were on it almost every day and we had nieces and nephews, friends and neighbors up to age 12 using it, they all loved it. The Bounce 'N Splash is a 20ft long slip n slide that had an inflatable sliding area so the kids were not hitting the hard ground. The only reason I purchased the Cannonball Splash waterslide was because I could not find the Bounce 'N Splash anywhere locally or even online this past summer and ours had ripped just as we started this season. I did buy an original slip n slide while I waited for the Cannonball Splash to come in and my kids hated that, because it hurt their stomachs to hit the hard ground after a few times down the slide, so when they saw this come in, they were understandably thrilled, unfortunately that only lasted for a few minutes until the slide fell over numerous times The bottom line here is that while my children were able to cool off a bit in the water, they actually spent more time in the pool at the bottom, because they were so frustrated with the slide constantly falling over. As a mom, I was not comfortable with them using the product unless I was within reaching distance in order to stop someone from careening off the slide onto the ground as the slide again fell over. I can't really recommend this product to anyone with young children for safety reasons and I don't think it is really big enough for older children. Over all, if they improve the connection and get rid of the gap it could possibly be a decent toy, but as it stands now it is seriously lacking in common sense safety. Date: 2007-07-31 Enjoy it while it lasts We had a party with the Splash Bomb Water Slide w/ Boogie Board. The kids really enjoyed it. There were about a dozen children ranging in age from 3-8. They had a blast sliding down the slide both on their bellies and on the boogie board. About 6 kids have also played with it one more day and so far, so good. The only thing that is irritating is that the slide and the pool part keep coming apart since it is just velcroed together. I also do not expect this will last all that long, but the price was good and the kids love it. Date: 2007-07-16 So much fun This provides my kids of hours of fun. The only thing that could be a little bit better the way the slde attaches to the pool it tends to shift alot. As long as you keep your eyes on it you will have just as much fun watching the kids play on it as they are. We love it. Great buy. Date: 2007-07-14 Disappointed! We were so excited to finally get the slide! As soon as we opened it and began to inflate it we found a slow leak. It lasted outside less than 15 minutes. What a waste of money and a major disappointment. Date: 2007-07-09 Fun toy while it lasted I purchased this item for my sons, and they had tremendous fun until the seam where the water comes out tore. Now they can't even use the slide because the tear seams to get bigger when I turn the water on. So all that remains usable is the pool part. Great idea, but disappointed that it didn't hold up.
