I've tried it but with a bigger one, it's fun and scary at the same time. The scariest part is you can't control yourself while falling, it's like skydiving but no parachute.
I’ve done it every year since 3rd grade (I’m in 8th) and it’s so awesome. It’s a camp called camp longhorn in Texas and it was actually invented by them. They used to store oil in those in WW 2 and after the war the camp which was then a “frogmen training facility” turned into a summer camp and painted the oil containers to make them what we now know of as blobs.
I weigh 500 pounds. I wonder how high is send one of those kids if I jumped onto this lol. I bet even if I made my way down to the end, the kid who jumped onto it with me on there would fly back up to the platform
@Talents Beatbox etc, it’s not easy because when I was younger my parents never took me to places like that. The first time I’ve ever stepped foot in a pool was when I was 10. Soooooo it’s not easy for me.
I clicked on this by accident but now I wanna add it to my bucket list.
What jumping onto the blob or makibg someone ELSE leap into the lake by jumping onto the blob?
I did one of these a few times in my camp during childhood. Pretty sure the smacks I did on the water changed me forever somehow.
@@silvanacampa1943 ?what r you saying
Let me tell you the experience, Its kinda scary but fun, Some might think they are gonnadrownシ︎
I already completed this task never doing it again tho

If you do try it, keep your jaw closed before the other person jumps.
Ikrrrr
I tried that and I it hurted so much when i landed on my back
lol i just went to lake aurora! i got back today :)
How was it
Wanna explain 8 years later?
@@Madolive09 haha! I remember it being fun, Kinda miss it. I would have to be a counselor now though, I’m too old to be a camper.
@P L U T O yes it is
@@TheUNDERSCOREBAND1 woahh ur still here lmaoo
Imagine if someone popped it when they jumped off
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
@Ravi yea but have you ever bellyflopped onto water
Thats happened before at a camp i went too, i wasnt there when it happened but they couldnt use it for the rest of the year
Yo that’s happened to me once I almost drowned in the blob
All fun and games till you’re a skinny 120 pound 15 year old and two 6 foot 3” 230 pound men come running with a far start.
Story of me at boy scout camp
You call that skinny?
Im 15 and im 80 pounds.
My metabolism is really fast.
@@in_hiding I also have a fast metabolism.I have to shit like 30 min after every meal.Even if its just some chips.
LOL YES
@@in_hiding Just wait till you drink coffee. If you skinny like me, that boosts it about 4x
I nearly killed my older sister when I blobed her. She went about 25 feet off the blob but the blob was about 8-12 feet in the air already
So how did that almost kill her
@@jefftheblockofcheese707 Impact
@@movedaccountscyayalls7119 or maybe from the impact she drowned?
@@al1choniii possibly
That’s pretty much Olympic diving height. A couple feet higher. That definitely could mess someone up pretty bad if they entered wrong
I've only been to one summer camp with a blob and it was the coolest thing ever
Also where all the comments at?

In my country they aren’t even legal
I’ve done this! It’s super fun. I flailed the whole time lol
0:37 Idk why but this scene looks like a giant sea creature gonna rise from the water opening its mouth and eating the kid
Im going to the 789 grade one at the end of this month:) this is by far my favorite thing at lake arura!
Same here I just got back home from lake aurora yesterday
I weigh 500 pounds. I wonder how high is send one of those kids if I jumped onto this lol. I bet even if I made my way down to the end, the kid who jumped onto it with me on there would fly back up to the platform
I have literally always wanted to do this
going there in a few days haha
How was it
Care to tell 3 years later?
The end though lol
had one back at home when i was younger, shame i never tried it out
i can confirm that a blob, is a MAJOR staple at any christrian camp
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but haven’t done yet.
I go to lake Geneva christian camp!! The blob is scary to me but fun!
This looks awesome

Pop it or simple dimpl?
Me wanting to do this:
Remembering i can’t swim.

@@clovey5045 fax
