As many others have stated...the seam near the hose attatchment will rip even with very careful usage.
The first time we used the slide all 8 kids had a blast HOWEVER we never did set up the "tunnel" part because it kept falling over and we never bothered with the "ramp" part either. Tried the ramp but it was too hard even for the 8 year olds to get up over it because of how far you have to run to jump onto it is a bit unsafe too running that much on the water.
We went back to just the regular... more info
Aqua Jump Slide:
My 8 year old son loves this slide. He has been the only child to play on it and like the other reviewers have stated, it would probably work best if placed on a down-hill slant instead of on a flat surface. He never made it past the jump into the pool. Everything worked the first time we set it up and my son played for hours. Take-down is a bit of a hassle but the enjoyment my son gets from it is well worth it! For the price, it's a bargain!
This toy is did not last passed the first usage.:
I ordered the Aqua Jump Slide and the Wave Racer Slide. My grandkids had fun with the slides but on the second time using them the seam where the slide is hooked to the hose busted on the Aqua Jump Slide. I was very disappointed because we only got one usage out of it.
Fun but not durable:
We purchased the slide even after reading the reviews about seams popping. We thought we would just be careful. The seams holding the tube the water flows into are not strong enough and we too popped the seams the very first day. We have gorilla taped the whole seam but the water makes its way through that too.
