Giga Ball Safety

The Giga Ball is a large inflatable ball that allows children to crawl inside and roll around. While it may sound like a fun toy, the Giga Ball does provide some obvious health risks.
  1. Construction

    • The Giga Ball is constructed from segmented, vinyl pockets. The sections are inflated to offer protection against the ground and other objects. The Giga Ball is available in different colors and sizes, with the smallest size being 51 inches in diameter.

    Uses

    • Children crawl over or through the Giga Ball. Once a child is inside the ball, he can roll around or be pushed about by his friends. Even when used properly, the Giga Ball can cause assorted bumps and bruises.

    Misconceptions

    • Despite its design, the Giga Ball is not meant to be rolled down hills. Doing so could result in serious injury, as the children are unable to stop the ball or protect themselves from potential dangers, such as trees, fences or oncoming traffic.

    Considerations

    • The Giga Ball is meant to be used under parental supervision. Failing to do so increases the risk of injury.

    Warning

    • The Giga Ball is not a flotation device and should never be used near water. If the Giga Ball rolls into a pool or other body of water with a child inside, there is a risk of drowning.
