After a gadget - inflatable, man you punch?

rossyl · 2 Jun 2009 at 15:29

Firstly i'm not a chav who needs practice so i can go out and hit people!

I remember years ago seeing advertised in gadget mags a certain cool gadget that I'd now really like.

It looked like an inflatable person that you punched. And there were certain spots you had to punh in order to do more damage, or because they lit up? I can't remember.

So does anyone know what i'm talking about - if so can they find a link?

A Slam Man? That's the closest thing I can think of right now without it being a toy.

With 240lb of sand in the base I doubt you'd be easily knocking it over.

Tip: Don't just punch a Slam-man straight in the face as hard as you can when drunk, it hurts ... lots.

Or even better, an "Intergalactic Proton-Powered Electrical Tentacled Advertising Droid".

Excellent thanks.

However, after reading this: http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/sports-equipment/slam-man/reviews/

I'm not so keen. Seems to be too hard to hit hard (as pointed out on this thread), it makes a lot of noise when hitting (not ideal for my flat) and it breaks.

Oh well...I guess i'll sit on the sofa and watch TV instead then.

I seem to have derailed the thread somewhat

Why not just get a punch bag. Don't you have ceiling joists you can bolt it to. Or a solid wall you can get a bracket for.
