People who have used Zungee and what they said

 

What's in a Zungee kit?

The base Zungee kit both adult and kids contain the following components

 

Easy to set up

Straight out of the bag Zungee can be set up in less than 10 minutes.

You don't require a slope or hill in your backyard, any open space will work.

Hammer in the stainless steel ground anchors and connect the safety line, or connect to a sturdy tree or post with the supplied lanyard.

The runway, made of super slippery PVC laminated tarpaulin unfolds out to a huge 33ft x 6ft. 

Simply secure the runway to the ground with the supplied dome topped pegs every 3ft.

You can also attach the safety lanyard to a post or tree rather than using the ground anchors provided.

Why Zungee

We love the concept of horizontal bungee, there are so few truly exciting things to do in your own backyard. While petanque, bocce & croquet are enjoyable, they are hardly exciting.
Zungee offers everyone - kids and adults a chance to play something a little exhilarating

We want to make Zungee the ultimate, most renowned game for outdoor backyard use by creating an easily obtainable, simple, home recreational activity for BBQs, parties, kids birthdays' or the family gathering.

Kids and Adults can play Zungee

Zungee can  be played by both adults and kids over the age of 8. A weight of 30Kg (66lbs) is approximately the minimum weight. Maximum weight for adults is 125Kg (275lb)
 

Quality & Safety

We use only the best quality materials for Zungee because we want it to last for many seasons of entertainment and we want you to be safe. You would definitely say we have way over engineered the product for both durability and our peace of mind.

Our Carabiners are the same locking clasps that mountain climbers use. They attach to both the user's waist belt and the ground anchor are rated at 12kN, that's more than 1200Kg's or 2600 lbs of weight loading capability. In comparison the load on the bungee rope when stretched is less than 100Kg or 220lbs. They are super tough and  will last for a very long time.

Zungee is also equipped with a safety Anchor system, meaning there are two joined ground anchors. If for some reason the primary anchor is pulled out of the ground when in use the secondary anchor is there to catch the load.
The two anchors are joined together with a heavy duty webbing strap and two more carabiners and the lanyard is rated at 23kN over 2300Kg's or 5000lbs far far in excess of any load that the equipment should experience in normal use. We use this system so you have options on how to anchor the bungee rope, placing the anchors in the most effective locations.

 

How you can help us to achieve our goals

We are very excited about the prospects for Zungee, (almost frothing at the mouth)... we would love it if you felt that way too.

Your support will validate our product offering and at the same time raise enough funds to scale production for international distribution.

We believe there are thousands of you who'd love to Zungee and so would your friends. You can help us by spreading the word to make Zungee the next "Wham-O Slip and slide". They sold in excess of 20 million units. We might need to run another campaign to get to that level!

If you like the campaign, like the product or just like the thought of good old fashioned fun... then please share this with as many people as you can - awareness and traffic is everything! That alone would be an awesome show of support for us and we'd be eternally grateful!

The best support is for you can provide is to commit to a Zungee kit perk here on our campaign.
We believe your ownership of a Zungee kit will make you our greatest advocate.

What we need?

  • We are looking to raise US$175,000 to:
    • Expand our handmade bungee rope manufacturing capabilities
    • Acquire machinery for production items such as stainless steel ground anchors, safety lines and runways
    • Compliance, obtaining CE for Europe, CPSC for the USA and other certifications
    • Minimise outsourced partner relationships
    • Present at trade shows to get further volume and distribution

Where's it going to go?
 

The majority (55%) of the funds we raise will allow us to get the volume discounts on inventory in the first instance.
There are no directors' salaries, management salaries or otherwise until this is a fully fledged business.

You've read this far, you are clearly interested in horizontal bungee, awesome, knew you would be!

What's in it for you?

  • We have oriented our perks to be ninety percent about getting your very own Zungee kit because that is what we all want, right? Be the one who introduces Zungee to your friends
  • We shaved margins and made an exceptional deal on the kits for this campaign, you won't see this good a deal once there are retail margins involved
  • We further discounted kits with multiple Zungees so you can have more family or group fun
  • I am offering up my own home in Phuket as a VIP perk, two lots only of seven nights each.
    The villa perk in Phuket Thailand - 'Baan Paragone' is a 10,000 sq ft villa with infinity edge pool overlooking the amazing Phang Nga Bay. But wait there's more... included in this offer is a unique tour around the bay in a traditional Thai long-tail boat for a day. Regrettably, it doesn't include the airfares to get there, we're afraid that will have to be on your dime. Trust me, its worth it.

What if Zungee doesn't reach its funding goal?

  • We understand that crowdfunding can be fickle and it is often difficult to generate enough interest/exposure for a project. 
  • We have considered not reaching our goal and have geared our perks so that we can achieve crucial parts of what we want to do, given as little as half our target budget.
  • We are most hoping for validation of our product and your investment in our future is just that.
  • If we don't reach our goal our expansion will simply be slower than we would have hoped. If product interest is strong, we can and will make Zungee happen.

Your Impact

By supporting Zungee, you will:

  • Get kids outdoors, into the backyard... where they belong.
  • Get adults doing fun and entertaining exercise without even knowing it.
  • Provide an excuse for hundreds of parties, for those that need an excuse.
  • Save thousands of people from hours of screen time.
  • Make my day, week and year.

Risks & Challenges

  • Risk of injury doing horizontal bungee.
    It is inherent in the nature of the game itself that people will fall over, sometimes not the way they would prefer. Sporting type injuries are highly probable -These are risks you take with most sports. 
    Our intention is to put a hefty disclaimer on every kit so that the user understands the potential for injury and is using it at their own risk.
  • No intellectual property to protect our creation from being copied.
    There are likely to be cheap ripoffs. We intend to be the gold standard of horizontal bungee and to retain that position.
    The bungee rope is one of the more difficult parts to replicate. If you want to know why see AJ Hackett building bungy cords or our own brief description video, Handmade Zungee ropes

FAQ

Could I make my own horizontal bungee kit?

Sure you can. Some of the individual components of horizontal bungee are obtainable.  
Bungee / bungy like this has been around for around 30 years or more.
The time and effort to obtain individual parts and the likely performance, quality, safety and costs when purchased individually would easily exceed the cost of a Zungee kit.
Zungee offers a simple and cost-effective solution while eliminating the hassles and dangers of DIY versions.

Why are there Adult and kid versions?

Its a case of simple math, a 30kg (66lb) child does not have the pulling strength of a 120Kg (260lb) Person. We had to make  heavier cord for adults.
No matter how hard we tried, there was no simple method to make a one size fits all product

What's the difference between training bungee and Zungee?

Training bungees are made of a single tubular bungee. These tube bungees offer low strength elasticity and safety in comparison to Zungee ropes. Zungee ropes are made of multi-strand silicone impregnated latex and are what is used by commercial vertical bungee jumping operations. The Zungee cord offers far greater elasticity and long-term strength.

What does a Zungee kit weigh?
Approximately 11 kg or 25 lbs 

What ages is Zungee suitable for?
We offer the guideline that the Zungee Kids kit is suitable for children from 8 years old onwards. Smaller lighter children under 30Kg (66lb) may struggle to pull the rope.

What's the difference between kids and adult Zungee?
Adult Zungee ropes are thicker and designed to give sufficient pull for an adult weighing 60Kg (132 lb) or more. Children struggle to pull the thicker heavier adult rope.

Invest in one of our Zungee kits today, there's a range to suit your needs, we guarantee you wont be disappointed!
